>This is a possibility, although it is difficult to say for certain. Institutions could be trying to manipulate the market for their own benefit, but it is also possible that they genuinely believe that the economy is improving and are simply investing accordingly. Only time will tell which one is true.

Ah I see your options don't print and it is because of a big conspiracy theory.

Never considered the idea that you are just bad at trading?

Well between the two they have a combined $25 trillion or more of assets under management. The sway and influence they have is immeasurable. They are anywhere and everywhere.

Better off unplugging from the machine and instead reading accounting/investing/trading fundamentals books and approaching everything from your own optic perch.

Yes, the same is going on with crypto. Keeping the economy afloat with pumps and dumps. On the backs of retail

meh it only works if you truly think what the media says matches the financial numbers coming out of the companies, reality vs the story. I personally am in the process of moving out of some stocks because of the rally. If there is a nosedive that will just be a buying opportunity then.

Most traders are using computer services now. They just changed the parameters and here we go. Everything is controlled and manufactured now.

I think its the AI revolution starting to unfold. Large financial institutions gutting their labor costs by firing dead weight. AI doing all the work for free , in turn freeing up lots of capital for investment. Even tech Co's like MSFT are firing coders which helps prop up profits and frees up more cash for R&D projects. The industrial revolution did same thing 100+ years ago

I don’t think it is ‘intentional’. It is just those algo traders know how to fuck retail. The rug will be pulled for sure.

Not a conspiracy at all. There is such a thing as strong hands selling to the weak, or as it should be called is professionals setting up retail to hold or be stuck with the bag. If we take a money flow indicator, we can see whether money is flowing into or out of a particular issue. Also, it is important to understand that retail traders usually only make up about 10% of trade and got up to about 25% at the height of the Covid driven volatility spike according to Citadel Securities.

This means in order to move the meter on a money flow indicator institutional trade has to be involved. As you can see since the low in October, institutional trade has not been involved. This is the strong selling to the weak setting up john q public to take the loss. I am almost sure a fall is coming. I can’t say 100% but, in my beliefs, nothing is 100% in trading except the fact that be fearful when everyone else is getting greedy.

Smart money is still in bonds and like we all know of bonds you are locked in for a certain duration.
