Stock Market Manipulation 101 PDF Version
Here are two images which illustrate what I describe as the eternal daily chart pattern that is generated by the ALGOS as they go about their daily practices of creating and maintaining uptrends.
One reason it is hard to get folks to understand that financial markets are perpetually manipulated second by second is that the lives of Americans are totally manipulated in almost every aspect of their being independently of markets anyway. But really, am I the only guy in the world to notice this?
The same mechanical trading pattern occurring virtually every trading day with very few exceptions is not possible in a free market. It is completely absurd to conclude that patterns such as these could occur every day unless they are created mechanically.Watch out when this breaks.

Are you not allowed to post links here? I had one I wanted to share with you but it won’t post…
I allow links. I have a spam filter. I can’t find any settings to allow links.
I will work on it. Send me the link at jamesquillian@fastmail.com. I will try it and see if I can post it.
Also, if you can send me a screen shot I can see if you have the choices I have. I have a button for both links and code. You may not.
It may be a WordPress issue.
Oh, I wonder if they do fear it. I think they arrogantly will just try to rig it…
The ‘hausse’ looks like a mid term rescue operation of the dems. Although the leftists are anticapitalists and hate exchanges and shares, they fear a waterloo in november.
Today (Friday 8/12) we have case 2. Zero correlation to the fundamentals. 100% manipulation, each day a new shit show.
Early on I learned to ignore fundamentals in the short term. That doesn’t mean they don’t ever matter at all ever.
What I do really doesn’t take any brains. Something changes and I think about why. I haven’t written about this but since efforts to right the market started, the chart of the futures overnight has become standardized and consistent. Too much consistency always suggests tampering. The key is to notice.
This reminds me of feeding the bears in Yellow Stone National Park. The bears just hang around waiting for someone to throw them some bread. They don’t think about where the bread is coming from, as in a bakery. They just know what to expect.
” I didn’t want the government to have any control over how I invested.”<—Amen to that! I've never had one, either. I'm Generation X but even after the slightest investigation into them I realized all the 401(k)/IRA money is corralled and gated and therefore would be extremely easy pickings for Big Government & Wall Street. The one two punch of government taxes/inflation on one hand and Wall St. swindling on the other is going to be a brutally rude awakening for people who thought they built up a safe nest egg for retirement, unfortunately.
Speaking of manipulation, when you consider that the peak in Baby Boomers hitting the mandatory 401(k)/IRA withdrawal age of 70 1/2 is coming over the next several years, it seems likely a big washout is coming so Wall St. can buy all their stocks for pennies on the dollar.
I was still a retail stock broker when IRAs came into being. I have never had one. Even back in the 70s, I didn’t wan the government to have any control over how I invested. I can’t remember when the baby boom ended but I am infact a baby boomer.
