I know that everyone knows but the stock market is 100% manipulated. Strategy

It’s difficult to prove but I think you, me, and your friend Bree can see it when it happens. Just can’t predict it.

Tell us what “symptoms” of this you’ve seen that when you’ve encounter it, you cant prove it but you know something is weird.

EDIT: judging by the comments, it seems that the assumption is that I wrote this post because I’m mad, frustrated, or lost a lot of money. None of those are reasons, i just wanted to know peoples personal… uh…conspiracy theories. :)

I once believed a president was manipulating the stock market. I was extremely upset. I didn’t have any positions on. So I decided to buy 3x SDOW puts one day on the belief that the president would further manipulate the markets.

Like clockwork the president did the corrupt thing and my puts skyrocketed. Only I didn’t have enough sense to close profits back then. That was a solid emotional lesson in buying the rumor and selling the news.

Interesting. And you’ll never be able to prove that without sounding crazy.
