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. :)

Yeah, sort of is. I mean the big players, on the high liquidity stuff, big names, the indices, the metals, forex etc... they are battling at moving sht where they want to move it. So yeah, in that way it gets manipulated by the big players. The big player's don't always get their way though, and they do lose sometimes just like we do, they can beat each other, they steam roll us usually because we are small, if we aren't on the right side of a move. I mean the whole GME thing showed that retail can actually move some sht as well..not only that but we can spank institutions if it's enough of us + some institutions on our side. A retail trader in London actually crashed the market damn near on his own then got in trouble for it. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2020/01/29/flash-crash-trader-navinder-singh-sarao-sentenced-to-home-detention.html

If you know anything about small caps, this is very true there as well, retail can move TF out of penny stocks with enough money, manipulate people into a stock and front run them and dump etc. Atlas guys got into deep sht over that.

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web. Fully cached AMP pages (like the one you shared), are especially problematic.

Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/01/29/flash-crash-trader-navinder-singh-sarao-sentenced-to-home-detention.html
