“How could they do that?”
If a cabal invested in a strategic commodity were to agree to dump their stocks at the same time the action would depress the value of those stocks. They’d start a sell-off much the same way people in third world nations stampede themselves to death: They see someone else panicking and then they panic and then more people join the fear-for-all.
With Soros he’s done this before and he’s made billions by shorting stocks and currencies and then starting panics so people sell their holdings...and then he doubles down by buying up the discounted shares and currencies before people realize that they made a mistake.
George Soros is worth $7 or 8 billion.
The Equities Market is valued at almost $100 trillion.
How does a guy with $7 billion control a market of $100 trillion and if Soros could actually control the markets, why is he only worth $7 billion?
