Topic: The Stock Market

I have been watching the market over the past year.

Man is it getting more and more obvious it is being rigged.


With huge sums just 'disappearing' on the market (ala Corzine, Madoff, and that French guy) I reckon it is so they can play their game.

At times the market gets 'jitters' from relatively minor bad news, and the market plummets and then magically recovers within a few days. Then when true bad news comes along nothing happens but a minor dip.


Right now the market is on an upward swing... and yet right now Moodys has declared Greece in default, news from Portugal and other 'barely surviving' nations has gotten very grim, the construction market in the United States cooled a hell of a lot more than predicted by even the most pessimist of analysts, banks are going bankrupt in all sorts of places, Israel has formally asked for Bunker Busters, oil prices (relative to a weakening dollar) are rising (Gas soon to be $6 a gallon) and the fight against Catholics and Christianity in general is going to go 'nuclear' soon enough.


With all this bad news... we should be plummeting like a rock. The market is currently rigged. Buy low, sell high... And right now some poor chump who trusts brokers is going to lose while if you do it yourself your gonna retire in a year.

My campaign has been eating money (like this laptop specifically purchased to help me with some software I hope to get, some special ticket costs, map costs, research costs, and more) or I would already be playing this market like a fiddle, and making the devil give me his golden toy.

Am I the only one noticing the daily almost on clockwork surges as well?

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

Re: The Stock Market

I agree there are alot of big fish in the scene, and that some people are having too much influence, but to say that the market as a whole is rigged is incorrect.

There are millions of traders and robots trying to make a living off the same "clockwork surges" as u would.

Re: The Stock Market

What does a company embezzling money have to do with the stock market being "rigged"?

"With all this bad news... we should be plummeting like a rock."

Not true. In times of uncertainty, when the dollar is less certain than physical assets and brick-and-mortar corporations, stocks are sometimes/often safer than alternatives like dollars or bonds.

Apple is still going to develop cool new stuff, whether 10x more or 1/10 the people are buying it. People are still going to trade goods and services to meet their needs. Granted, people can panic and markets can crash--but my point is that so can currencies and governments.

That the market can crash doesn't necessarily make it any less safe than other places. Some limited troubles result in market _gains_, as people seek to secure wealth with stocks rather than dollars or other investments they've deemed more risky for the time.

You might want to learn some market basics before running for office. You're kinda scaring me with this post. Like a lot. tongue

Also, if anyone has forced you to invest in any market and you suspect there's foul play involved (which is how it sounds, from your accusations): There is. Call the cops. You shouldn't be investing in anything you're not knowledgeable enough to invest in comfortably and relatively securely.

If you don't understand markets and have anyone you can really trust (company or individual) to invest your wealth, put it in your mattress and stop voting for people who've trashed our dollar for decades. It's not thievery when you lose money because of your own bad decisions.

Re: The Stock Market

What we see is a market fed with money. The Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank (ECB) are pumping billions into the markets. European banks just got 0,5 trillion Euro for 1% and 3 years term. Pretty much money to play with and it is going everything into the stock market. That is why the stocks rise and seem to ignore bad news. It is great bubble again.
