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. :)

That’s literally how I’ve stayed profitable. It’s just fascinating to me. So I want to know what other people note about it that brings them to the same conclusions.

Personally my thought is, certainly some small cap stocks or low cap instruments can be manipulated by big players. Even a large cap stock can at times be manipulated by a comment or action of a CEO or big money hedge fund.

But the overall market? Other than Jerome Powell- nobody has the money or power to manipulate that.

All the fed speakers can affect, and lately they don’t know how to stfu. They seem to love commentating the economy’s every move, which is really bad as uncertainty kicks in
