Friday Outlook: Commodities, Global Markets

The following is just a mumbling from a stream of unconsciousness.
We had oil bust created by trading frenzy with volume far exceeded the oil inventory. Now we have option trading of all stocks with volume far exceeding the underlying stocks, not just U.S. stocks but also of stocks of the world all over through ETF and other means. Could there be a huge U.S. and world market bubble followed by a tsunami crash in not so distant future? It would take more than trillions to fix, more likely mega-trillions? Remember it was only billions just a few years ago?
With all this high frequency trading and other new market manipulations which we don’t know, has the fundamental of the market changed? May be Hal 9000 has already factored in all the technical analysis we now know and depend on and found a way to circle around us. The shares and the stocks are now just like the oil, which by the way is floating on the high seas by the boatloads, a mere trading vehicle to make money?
