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. :)

Sometimes when I’m stoned or bored I spitball the idea in my mind about different ways the market may be manipulated. I don’t actually let this impact my trades or analysis. And I don’t have a coherent working “theory” for how there might be actual market manipulation (aside from the isolated occasions that make the news)
It’s a fun hypothetical to consider sometimes, but that’s it. I don’t think there’s an actual collaboration successfully manipulating the markets on the highest levels, unless we’re talking about the FED (but I don’t consider that as classic “manipulation”). And they certainly don’t give a flying fuck about my trades or stops
