Loading ...“What I think I see: The online brokers have consolidated and merged into less than a handful, and those that are left have sold their souls to the Devil, BlackRock, and its super computer Aladdin, by giving them access to all trades as they happen. So you buy 1000 shares of any PM they want to control, and they short/sell that same PM 1000 shares, thus nullifying your purchase….so the stock price goes nowhere but the volume doubles.
And for those who are trading the ETF’s, this is strictly Casino stuff. They own nothing, or worse, they use investor money to do the same thing I mentioned above. If you check the charters of the ETF’s you will find they “TRACK” the value of the companies or commodities they represent but they have no obligation to own them. Their only obligation is to report their value daily and return investor money at its current value on request….
This IMO is why BlackRock and Aladdin and a few others now own or control more than 50% of more than half the ETF’s in this trillion dollar rigged ETF Casino, and most of the ETF frenzy and control has happened since the financial crash of 2008-2009.
Somehow the Derivatives market, which is NOT under the control of the SEC or other governmental watchdogs, is being allowed to trade in all the stock markets…to the point where the world financial systems are nothing but a huge bag of hot air…just waiting for the tiniest pinprick to explode into the nothingness that it really is and bring the world to its knees.
But not to worry, because the same ones who created this situation already have the new “you’ll own nothing but you’ll be happy” digital control system ready to roll out…. and that is why XXX has gone to PHYZ in hand, along with a few other absolute necessities, and no debts… as the only possible way to survive this Satanic control…if I should be so unlucky!”
All FWIW and DYODD!
