    INTC market manipulation

    How come nobody talks about the obvious market manipulation pulled off by WSJ?
    How else can you call a half baked report coming on a Friday, just 3 hours before market close when all options would’ve expired worthless?

    My second question is why did the stock climb so much on a news that was already priced in since Tuesday’s report from Bloomberg. This wasn’t even a confirmation or some other big improvement to the first news. It is basically the same news in other words. They don’t even know which Apple products would be using INTC chips. Is it due to the bots interpreting this as positive news? If so, seems like “the press” has the most power over the stock market in those times.

    120$ Calls went from 0.3 to 7 in an instant. That’s like 20x in 3 hours.

      There is no investing anymore in market. It’s all gambling and gaming the system. When trading is done by bots, algo etc, nothing wrong in just publishing a story. There are more strong market manipulation happening directly by manipulating stocks with large sum of money. No one gives a f about a unverified story anymore.

      Those Friday afternoon drops right before expiry are sus as hell, happens way too often to be coincidence. Market makers probably knew what was coming and positioned themselves accordingly

      The climb after Bloomberg news was weird too – algos probably parsed “Apple” and “Intel” together and went crazy buying without reading the actual content. These trading bots don’t understand nuance, they just see keywords and pump

      When the SEC and DOJ don’t give a fuck because their supreme leader is doing it himself, you know everything is off the table. Gamble or invest accordingly. For myself, it’s why I’ve stopped doing options and just bought shares to sit on. I missed INTC though, granny isn’t happy.

      There is still money to be made here. I’m thinking it will hit $10,000 per share within six months!!!

      You’re doing your research, analyze fundamentals and macro, tryin’ to put 2 and 2 together… then you find out your Uber driver just made 5x in one day because he just followed the FOMO and hype.

      A degen learns that weeklies are a gamble unless you have media insider info. More news at 12.

      And why did the pres buy a buncha shares of INTC and then tweet about how well the stock is doing?

      How does one shut off their brain so he can make some profits in this “market”?

      A lot of times people joke about this being a casino, but the fact of the matter is that it really actually is a casino

      I swear the market manipulates me personally. F this guy in particular.

      I have a put – and a stop loss. The stock will literally go up exactly to my sell price at a large loss before a minute later shoot back down through the floor for no reason. Probably to screw someone on the other side.

      I’m only half joking. My theory is – they have AI bots that look at all the trades, these bots find the perfect timing to break everyone’s stop losses. They know the stop losses – so they can just manipulate it up and down. If you have a decent sized short term bet enough to sway a particular less traded stock even 1% – they can manipulate it easily. Kind of like sports betting – the AIs live in the middle for guaranteed money.

      They pumping it before next week’s drop. They make even more by betting on the amount of drop. It’s all wall street inside trading.
      They done the same with paper silver and paper gold earlier this year they just moved on to tech sector.
      Now it’s intel and micron they fucking around with.

      It’s manipulation when you’re missing gain/loss, it’s skill when you winning, welcome to rigged casino

      All this virtuous talk but all of us self serving pricks know it that if we had insider info that would make us millions we would bet on it in a heartbeat. So stfu and no crying in the casino.

      I stopped doing short dated options altogether and found that my portfolio appreciates it more.
