Oh yeah, and in a remarkable coincidence, Discord discovered /wallstreetbets is guilty of "hate speech" at the very moment powerful hedge fund managers took to the news channels to complain about how they're being taken advantage of and "someone needs to do something about it!"

Any lingering doubt about whether the system is rigged have been utterly erased. They can't afford to even try to hide it any more.
Agree.

Now maybe some of you people will understand why we on the right are 100% convinced that the election was stolen. Think about it.

I know darn well that the Wall Street elite are going to win this but the blowback against them is delightful to behold. CNN and Fox both writing about it from a similar vein.

The US is not any form of democratic when it comes to money. The US is run by and for billionaires.

Hasn't collapsed yet. Closed yesterday at $193.60 and in pre-market right now is $338.99 (was $390 earlier).


The collapse is coming though. I couldn't say when but the small guys certainly seem determined to beat all the shorts.

Agreed. And I've always thought hedge funds were a legal scam, I know the investors take a lot of risks, but they (hedge fund) aren't watched as much by the SEC as other investment strategies. So, by restricting the trading so they don't lose as much definitely seems like manipulation, as well as shorting more stocks than existed.

That being said, isn't a group of individuals collaborating (reddit) together to drive a stock up , also market manipulation ?

It seems like one big fugazi on both parts. Disclaimer, I know zilch about the intricacies of the stock market.

It's way up in the premarket. They must have figured out a way.

This clip from last night's Tucker Carlson puts in this a bigger context. He talks about the Occupy WS movement and how they used 'racism' to shut it down. Really interesting. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tuck...ts-rigged-game
