The elites have been manipulating the stock market for decades and they are making money off of the working class. A thread #yourmovesec
If you ever thought about investing your money in the stock market in the hopes to make more money long term, you probably think it’s a free market.
Except it really is not! To dumb it down a little. You have a few big men who decide what stock to go down and what stock to go up. This is usually at the cost of the company itself
For example, hedge funds can “team up” and short sell a stock (to bet against a company’s bankruptcy). Think of Toys r us or radioshack. Not only this puts thousands of people out of work but we lose companies that we love.
Some of these hedge funds go as far as doing illegal activities to make sure a stock is making them billions of $$$. If you are familiar with the stock market you know that when people sell the price goes down and when people buy, it goes up...
There are ways to counter that via a dark pool (not accessible to the public). It’s an alternative trading system that allows investors to trade without impacting the free market and at the same time keep their intentions secret. You can guess what it can be used for...
If you haven’t, say hedge fund xyz wants a stock price to go down... they would buy large amounts of shares through dark pools and sell through the free market. We then see the impact of the selling pressure on the free market whilst concealing the buying pressure from it.
Technically the use of dark pools is legal although not transparent. You then have something called naked shorting. Some criminals (this is what I’m gonna refer to them as) short sell stocks without actually owning any shares. This essentially creates a counterfeit share
It has many risks with it, but can be very lucrative! You can figure out there are counterfeit shares when the float of a company is more than a 100%. It’s a little difficult to catch naked short selling because of many loopholes... but this is where FTD’s are useful.
