Yes it's all a big conspiracy to get money from poor people because EVERYONE knows that poor people are where the money is.
I have made quite a bit of money in stocks over the years but I don’t pretend that it is a free or rational market absent manipulation by government and private entities.
Well, yes it is.
You only get a little, but there are a lot more poor people than rich.
And if you can manipulate the system to feed into (EBT’s?) then they poor can be very good business indeed.
My statement has zero to do with poor people. If you haven't been following the news/proof in recent months about how Wall Street is undeniably & structurally rigged to benefit the super-rich over the rest of us investors then you have not been paying attention.
