Who really controls the stock market?

This year has shown that a small percentage of people can really control stock prices. That the one percent has the power to control stock prices. It's very clear. With all that has gone on this year, the stock market index has barely bumped. A few years back the stock market would have lost big percentages with the news we have today. Only the rich are still getting rich and the rest of us dwell in adverse poverty or worse. It's right there in black and white. There is no reason for stock prices to be where they are. Only a small hand full of companies are really making any money and the rest aren't. Tell me why those stock prices are staying up?
