Big banks big money rigs everything.
Does a bull emit bull$#!t?
Does a bear defecate in the woods?
;-D
The wealthy bankers, Wall Street insiders and they’re co-conspirators in D.C. totally manipulate everything...
The stock market is another welfare program, subsidized to the hilt, and rigged to keep the game going. And that is what it is, another computer game, a virtual reality within the virtual reality of the US economy and the world economy. God help us all when the game breaks down.
It’s not “rigged” exactly, but the ultra fast frequent traders whole business model is based on, in essence, making a profit by making other buyers pay slightly more than they otherwise would have paid.
The whole thing can be largely fixed by making the electronic “auctions” happen only once every second. Then milliseconds advance knowledge advantages will largely not matter.
big baks == the fed. yes.
you can cause growth orrcession by loosening or restricting the money supply. it’s been done.
The story at the link is a really fascinating read. Worth the jump to the link.
Does a one legged duck swim in circle? It rigged by the fed, the broker - dealers probably, in most cases do not have inside fed info because if the did, it would be on every Bloomberg hoot(communication tool) yelling to their cronies , friends and families and you know that will be scooped by some media outlets.
Is market minipulation done? Well does ponochio have a wooden pecker?
I can tell you for a cetanity, thinly traded positions are minpulated or gamed depenends on counterparty relationship; almost all bids and offers go through Bloomberg terminals.
Yeah, there is always potential of rigging, but big x factor today is fed policy. Fed policy is a man made disaster in a free market / trade environment.

I really don't care if know-nothings are making less money because other know-nothings are using faster computers to make more.
The market works when the participants stop being followers and hangers-on. If you think a stock is worth a certain price, but when the stock is sold below that price and sell when the stock is above that price. Everything else is gambling or skimming.
Alright, all you market critics. If you are not in the market, where are you investing for growth?
Hmm. Does QE exist?
Absolute lies, for 120 years. Catch your breath, or be dined upon.
Denninger, ZH, and the Market/gold bugs on here have been screaming this for close to SIX years and now this clown comes along and the MSM is all OH MY GOD, REALLY???
WTF... :-|
Here's how I buy I stock.
I research the financials, I study the charts, then I study the sector, then I assess general market sentiment.
I set the price I'm willing to pay.
I set the number of shares I want to buy.
I send a “limit” order.
If I can't get filled at my price or my share count, my order is cancelled.
The high speed traders can't touch me.
If they artificially raise the price, then, at some point in time, the price may come back down, and I'll buy then.
If the stock stays above the price I'm willing to pay, then I look for new stocks to buy.
Any mutual fund, any hedge fund, any institutional buyer can do EXACTLY the same thing I do.
Is CBS believable?
Where does everyone think that QE money is going?
