I know what you’re thinking. Anytime a post with this title is made, it’s usually because OP lost all their money and is blaming the market for their poor trades. That’s not the case here. I haven’t lost money, but rather wanted to share my observation that the there is blatant, ongoing corruption within the current administration.
With the tariff threats resurfacing again, how haven’t more people come to the realization that this was never about tariffs? It’s been about routine, coordinated efforts to enrich those in power. It is implausible that these announcements aren’t planned in advanced, with those that have knowledge – directly or indirectly (more likely) – profiting off them. Unfortunately, there’s no one to hold them accountable either, as those who have the ability to are either complicit or too fearful.
I am open to any reasonable counterarguments as to why this is not the case.
The Stock Market is Being Heavily Manipulated

I mean, it this is pretty much a “No shit Sherlock!” moment!
As a retail investor you should just DCA into index funds to mitigate this; I do like to try to stick my finger in the wind to see which way it is blowing and buy this or that individual stocks, it can be a learning experience.
Corruption, sure. But if you look at Tesla’s P/E, you realize there is also extreme, pathetic stupidity.
I share your suspicion that a lot of the noise that’s coming from this administration is at least in part whipsawing markets to help somebody profit on the ups and downs. I don’t like that, but as an individual retail investor I try to remind myself that in the long run this is primarily noise that won’t impact stock values 10 years from now. It makes for a bumper and scarier a ride, but that’s what I’m holding onto.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
The stock market has always been manipulated…
Love it being manipulated….. 3x my networth because of this admn lmfao.
Dude. Everything is manipulated. It’s called the US government deficit and money printing by the Fed to paper over the worthless boot the dollar.
No shit
Agreed. As of January 17th, today, I’m up 38% YTD by just following insider trading
It sounds like you’re saying tariffs are being used to inflate stock prices, but last year the opposite was true. After tariff announcements stocks took a dive. That actually would have been an ideal time to buy, but panic sets in and people end up selling. It’s pretty easy to follow if you know what you’re doing… Just keep buying.
Market Goes Up, recently for a lot of reasons, many of which do not involve valuations of the companies involved:
1.) Inflation fears make holding cash seem risky
2.) All regulatory agencies basically taking a 4 year smoke break
3.) Loosening banking rules, freeing up capital
4.) Continued “auto buy” from people’s 401ks
If you can’t explain a thing deeper than saying “it’s obvious”, then you shouldn’t be surprised if no one takes you seriously.
Show proof
Tell me something the merc or cboe or nyse doesn’t already see in there flow data
No. What Im thinking is, if you know it’s being heavily manipulated then you should know how to make the most of it.
Are you profiting too like his Wall St. Bros, or are you participating in some alternative market?
They’re not confessing…they’re bragging:
“Markets are efficient because of active managers setting the prices of securities… trying to drive the value of companies towards where we think they should be valued.” – Kenneth C. Griffin, Citadel Securities
Let’s get Nancy Pelosi’s take on this shall we?
We saw this quite often in his first term, but now he knows that there are effectively no legal consequences to any crime he commits, anything goes.
