Market Manipulation and Technical Perspectives

Recommended Posts

Can't remember if I mentioned this before but manipulated is not a useful word to use as it has a few definitions the common two are quite ambiguous.

 

At one end of the scale you have "to handle with great skill or artifice".

At the other end of the scale you have a similar definition but can add unfairly, falsely, deviously or even out illegally.

 

So manipulation is likely to mean different things to different people, it is often used because it is emotive whilst remaining ambiguous.

As studiers of market action, it is very useful to have a well defined terms. The reason for using an ambiguous term for an inquiry is to open the door for a variety of perspectives to be commented upon.

 

Really what I am surveying is along the lines of, with the vast experience of the traders, what are the evidences that we have for unusual disruptions in market activity. Is there times to expect these disturbances? What are the mechanisms that trigger them? How have things changed? What are people doing to avoid or exploit these occurances? For new traders, what will the old school trades see you are jumping into. So far it has been a decent thread because people are coming up with shared experiences that give perspective on the dynamics and forces that move the market.

There will be opinions of intent and justification for market interventions. People see things differently. That is why I like trading, people disagreeing make every order fill work. The more people disagree, the more liquid the market... The sharing of useful information is the focus.

Yes, especially analysts and the media (CNBC) or Big Money. Now I recalled big downgraeding Yahoo shares, just before the bids for the purchase by MSFT.

It is interesting that some analysts downgreading and demolition Yahoo stock price. At the same time to decrease Yahoo prices, companies that are doing these same analysts have bought Yahoo shares as crazy.

Of course it was all accompanied by a negative media campaign on CNBC on weaknesses Yahoo shares. For several days after a well earned on long calls on Yahoo and up to 3000 to +4000% pure gain.

So much for the "analysts", the news and follow-up "market gurus".

 

Only TECHNICAL ANALYSIS and monitoring the flow of capital. With such an analysis and Big Money misinformation on CNBC can be very useful.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
