It is likely, with hedge funds getting close to going under and bonds starting to go negative as well as the commodity market of gold, government interaction with tariffs had to be lifted in order for the US market to not get into somewhat of a depression. Although it might be a good manipulation for now to relive some stress from the market, it is still a form of manipulation.
Do you mean the obvious dump then pump? Yeah, nobody caught on to that. It doesn’t even rhyme with the person responsible. We are living in a Dr Seuss parody of capitalism.
It’s never not being manipulated. Today was a particularly good example, but it happens constantly from everyone in government. Giving a huge military contract to Boeing? Let me buy a few stocks. Banning a product that Browning sells? Let me sell my stock. IMO no people in elected positions such as congress, nor their direct family, should be allowed to trade.
Everyone’s pretty sure it’s a yes and that’s all that matters. This world relies on trust and we’re losing that blazing fast. We are only seeing a reaction to the news of chaos. Let’s see what happens when that chaos finally hits home for real
Demonstrably so. We can see a clear conflict between the amount of risk that has “come out of the woodwork” over the past few weeks and the “recovery” that happened today. It’s, at best, a green mirage designed to lure more retail liquidity in so the larger players can get exited with enough to meet their margin calls.
I look at the credit default swap spreads that have been persistently climbing at a steeper and stepper rate over the past several weeks and I can see that… there is systemic risk. Trump’s been “fishing with dynamite” and things have been “floating up” that are detrimental to the rest of our financial ecosystem.
Trump admin’s erratic behavior has had a real, material, adverse effect on credit instruments. He has impaired the economy by interrupting key corporate and consumer credit flows. Today’s equity action is at odds with the broader impairment to the real economy which we have seen.
It definitely feels that way sometimes—especially when you see massive swings that don’t match any major news or fundamentals. Between algorithmic trading, insider info, and market sentiment getting driven by social media, retail investors are often just reacting to moves that already happened. Manipulated might be a strong word, but “influenced by forces we’ll never fully see” feels accurate.
People who don’t leverage the manipulation tend to complain about it.
All executive administrations manipulate the market; left, right, slanted, it don’t matter. . the ones that don’t put what they are doing on public display are trying to keep potential gains among the rich. Those who blatantly announce what they are doing are trying to get everyone in on the gains, the insider info and timing is being handed out on a platter, making it public info. Increase tariffs = buy. Pause tariffs = sell. I’m a landscaper, I’m by no means rich and I had the second best day my day trading portfolio has seen…because of knowing what to do and when. .
Excuse me, Mr. President before you make your statement let me go buy some triple stocks in the NASDAQ. And if you’re gonna give PLTR another contract, let me know before I go by the double PLTU. And if you got good news for bitcoin, I’ll get that BITU.
No, I believe it is just the fluctuations of market adjustments across the different products and services as the supply chains and selections are made to determine how to find exemptions and opportunities to reduce costs. These things during times of uncertainty can experience swings like that but it is not the same as manipulation. It is normal volatility at times historically. Furthermore this shows hows manageable the US debt is, because our debt is around $35T whereas even our market activity during the week on any given day can be several trillion dollars of money in activity and our net worth is over $145T.
Not just the market. We happen to have a group of very ignorant people called ( Republicans) who think the Bible and lies are the best way to run things.
As much as the collapsing bridge on the Universal Studios Tram Tour. It partially collapses and then resets itself for the next group of sucker- I mean guests.

yes

Always
Yes, blatantly.
Most likely, but there are no longer any laws for rich people in the US anymore.
Just right now? Always has been.

Yes
it LITERALLY couldn’t be more obvious
Trump is doing it in plain sight.
Absolutely and nobody will be punished for it
YES

Yes, and to distract the morons say Pelosi trade or Hunters laptop. That usually works.

Fuck yeah it is!
Yes.
You bet
Only if official government shenaniganizing counts…then affirmative.
100% without a doubt.
Always has been
Yes
Most definitely is. Remember whenever the stock market crashes it’s the best time to buy.
For sure

Yup, but these laws don’t exist anymore apparently
Yes, but it is an presidential official act, so there is nothing you can do about it, and nobody will ever see legal consequences.
10000000000% it was. This will go down as one of the biggest scams in history
That’s its secret, Cap, it’s always being manipulated
Right now? No.
It is being manipulated all the time.
yes. don’t invest just yet. It will skyrocket though and the rich get richer. Just wait a little bit.
[deleted]
Yep. It’s gonna freefail by end of week again. Gonna rug pull everyone Friday.
Yes and it always has been. Fuck banks. Fuck hedge funds. Fuck insiders. Fuck the corruption
I think so. But I’m also open to the idea that policy is being developed based on the market reactions.
This is too stupid of a question to be on nostupidquestionz! Yes!?

Insiders was given a 20 minutes warning so they could buy before the market bounced back.

Yes, that’s his plan..

lol, is it ever not? But, big yeah. If anyone else were pulling this shit, it would be called “organized crime”.

So…yeah, we’ll be alright lol.
It would have been nice if the announcement come formally from the podium of the white house rather than informally posting it on social media.
Can you think of another time anything like this has happened in the last 100 years?
If course it is.
lol when is it not being manipulated would be a shorter answer
What do you think?
It’s not you just have to have the right method and I can do that
Trump did this in his first term as well with his phony news about trade talks with China going “well” even though there was no progress at all.
Do you follow the adjudicated rapist on Truth social? Yes it is.
Blatantly because no one can do anything about it. Unlimited Power to enrich himself and his friends.
When is it not?
To be fair, insider trading is nothing new.
The scale and doing it like this in plain sight is unprecedented however.
I can’t really think of a time in United States history that the stock market has existed and it wasn’t being manipulated.
Always has been. Are the tariff flip flops part of it? Who knows.
Jared Kushner – short selling stocks
Yup.
Joseph Kennedy used the standard “pump and dump” to make the Kennedy fortune. Trump just finished a reverse Kennedy. Trump did a “dump and pump”!
Of course
Not just the market. We happen to have a group of very ignorant people called ( Republicans) who think the Bible and lies are the best way to run things.
Yep
Made 26k over the last two days. Thanks Mr President!!!
I can’t believe this is allowed. Trump helping the rich get richer.
Currently seniors who will not have time to recover from the crash/dip are the ones that are really hurting
As much as the collapsing bridge on the Universal Studios Tram Tour. It partially collapses and then resets itself for the next group of sucker- I mean guests.
YES
Expect to see some wild stuff in the next couple of years
Banks going bankrupt, and maybe even the death of the stock market as we know it
Now and always
Yes. Overtly with no attempts to be subtle.
Yes. 100%.
Just look at MTG trading and you will see what is the money trail to answer your question.
Yup
Yes.
Always has been it’s just more obvious right now.
Seems like it
Feels like there’s some manipulation going on, especially with all the sudden changes and social media buzz. Definitely something to watch!
Always
Yes
Honest question, why not?
Yeap. This is a man made crisis.
Now? Lol
Openly on public platforms.
Obviousdly
Duh
No shit yes
