8. I watch stock "candles" every day...

It's the minute by minute movement of stock prices.

I've been doing it for years...I'm not a trader. I buy and hold, so I have a vested interest in doing this.

You can physically SEE the manipulation...I wish I could express this better than I am now.

But when you watch the movement of stock candles for years and years, you get a pretty good feel for what is going on.

A company reports very good news as far as earnings? The stock may drop like a rock anyway. That's the market maker, who by the way, is owned by a hedge fund, shorting the stock to drive the price down because the hedge fund is short the stock. That's the only reason...the movement of price can be totally detached from economic fundamentals.

It's infuriating to a small retail investor.
