I know the SEC has always been bad but what is even the point at this rate?
Today there was a $760M short on oil that was placed 20 minutes before the Hormuz announcement.
This is the 3rd time now…
March 23: $500M short
– 15 minutes before Trump delayed Iran strikes. Oil dropped 15%.
April 7: $950M short
– hours before the US-Iran ceasefire.
April 17: $760M short
– 20 minutes before Hormuz declared open.
The CFTC is investigating
When are we going to talk about how blatant the insider trading has been under this administration?

Investigating? Investigating how to stop people seeing this info maybe
Fuckin’ Barron again
My boss and VP talked about this shit last year too when S&P shot up by 10%.
We investigated ourselves and found nothing. What are the odds
The ones suppose to investigate this shit are the ones doing it. The call is coming from inside the house
This shits been happening for years. Nancy Pelosi is the queen of insider trading
Who’s gonna investigate them? The fbi? The sec? The democrats? They are all in it together
every one getting free tacos not good enough for you?
Not only does trump rape children, but he’s also raping the stock market since he gutted the SEC. The guy making all the trades, since trump is a moron, is ball-lick lutnik from cantor Fitzgerald.
Maybe the Iran govt made the stock trades thru different channels before announcing the Hormuz strait was open for business.
Who knows, It’s a free market.
Every administration.
Americans don’t care though. If you did, trump would have been impeached when he rug pulled multiple billions in crypto before even getting to the White House this term.
And we couldn’t do nothing about it.
Criminal president doing criminal shit. Fuck this system. It’s rigged against the people. Time to play by a different set of rules.
at this point it’s basically a game where some people get to see the answer key before the test. the sec under every administration has been toothless but this level of timing correlation is hard to explain away as coincidence.
Everyone has been talking about it
Who is “we”? “We” have been discussing it since before the inauguration
The question is when will the 78 million people who voted for him start talking about it, and the answer is never
This has been happening forever. Just ask yourself how these career politicians who make $175k a year get a net worth of 50-100 million. It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.
Plenty of people have been talking about it? Who is we?
The SEC regulates securities, not oil. What were you expecting them to do?
If you can form an army of 3 million angry citizens armed to the teeth I’d be happy to help you get to the bottom of things.
You too your self can get in on the action by literally doing the opposite of what the markets reaction is to what trump says… war is going to end soon = buy oil stocks, we’re going to obliterate a civilization sell oil stocks buy into the s and p.
but the Dow is over 50,000!
The most uneducated, willfully ignorant people that ignored this for the decade he’s been in office since his first term have come to see what he really is and always been. A manipulative, corrupt, conman criminal who lacks scruples and sees power as a weapon to abuse and hurt foes who aren’t even a threat. He’s a petty bully and extreme sociopath who is absolutely sure he will get away with it because he buys people off when they don’t capitulate when he threatens them.
So are cronies he’s helping, many who helped him get him in office that were rewarded with large tax breaks. Except now he’s just really helping a smaller more elite group, one that he’ll continue to surround himself with and needs to defend him from future prosecution.
As much as people here who trade or invest think making a little money on his manufactured volatility makes it worth it, which is entirely sick amoral justification and anti-Democratic, you’re also helping a hyper corrupt regime like his stay in power and hurt others. Your silence is support. You aren’t in his club and you’ll never be one of them. If you enjoy a healthy society you need to kill this cancer that’s taking over the host. It’s reached your neighbors and family.. you aren’t not immune and your little savings pile won’t insulate you forever.
Don’t look away and let things get so bad we can’t fix it. Don’t assume someone else will take responsibility and speak up. Do your part. Don’t stay ignorant and look away. Stocks and trading shouldn’t be your entire life focus. Help change things and push back against this regime.
Realistically: literally never happening
I will share a past experience: years back I was invested in a young business. A NOTORIOUS shorting firm decided to target this company. Shorters aren’t always wrong, and they do have a place in the balance act of equity stocks, but in this case they were patently lying. How do I know? Well a good chunk if their thesis was based on pictures taken from the address where said company had recently/bought expanded to. According to their pictures, the address was an empty piece of land. The market ran with the story and I took a 20-30% haircut because of those pictures.
A few days later, the company puts together their rebuttal piece, along with the their own photos. So, lo and behold, the physical building existed, it was at the correcr address, etc. They even re-duplicated the shorting firms pics and then shiftrd the camera to show the reality. Yes, the shorting firm took a picture of the field beside the building.
Finally, a few days after this, a fellow investor actually trekked out and confirmed the legitimacy of the physical address. It has since been easily proven 100s of times.
The reason I share all this is that there couldn’t possibly be a more straightline example of market manipulation than this. It came with photos ffs. And I’ll let you guess how the SEC investigation went? Right, there was NO investigation. Nothing. Shorter made bank, a bunch of retail got screwed, and the world kept turning.
And that company was not the endlessly untouchable Trump. The same Trump who has gotten away with crimes 100x worse. There will be no accountability or justice, best to accept that now.
