Today I have updated the chart from last week. The top panel shows the S&P 500. The indicator on the bottom is the total POMO buying in dollars that the Fed has done. I've zoomed in to just show the last year and a half.
As you can see the POMO buying over the last month has now far exceeded any 20-day period in 2009 (or ever). According to the Fed's website Mon-Thurs of this week are also scheduled for POMO activity. And a new schedule is due out on Friday so there is a chance we'll continue to see strong Fed buying in the weeks ahead. Evidence suggests to me that this should have a bullish influence on the market.

It's scary to me that common people now know exactly the nature of the Fed Ponzi scheme and actually believe there is some safety in that. Problem is, when Bernie Madoff's victims discovered his scam, what happened to the value of the investments they made?

Actually, I can't see that. In fact, I'm quite confused by it. What about March/April of 09?
