General Discussion

Especially in these times, today, there is a ton of corruption in the stock market.

The SEC has no power to change this, nor the will to, especially under this administration. My belief is that the stock market is an entirely insignificant measure of the health of the economy.

Billionaire hedge fund managers control the market, and they manipulate it as they see fit.

Hedge funds make money whether the market goes up or down, and they can MAKE the market go either up or down. There is no true price discovery for the value of any stock in the market.

Billionaires make money whether the market rises or drops. Stocks are no longer dependent on company fundamentals. They are dependent on hedge fund whims. And they make their money by shorting stocks, betting on them to fall, while actually making them fall artificially, whether a company has good fundamentals or not.
