Why can't a division of the government play stock options.

Like a government mutual fund that makes money for both citizens and the government itself with tax payer money.  What you want in investment is diversified risk.  Nothing could be more diversified than public money.  It's worth a shot, since we have so much debt.  Take a chance with stock options.

You see, the government can manipulate trade markets with the information it relases.  If the government, in a sense, becomes self aware to the news it reports and conferences that it makes, could actually have a division that tracks these markets and trade in stock options.  I mean, the government sees these people's taxes, I'm sure it could track their businesses with puts and sees.  Obviously you would want the government to have more sees than puts, to drive the market up.
