Blackrock has about 3T in holdings. Household assets are 134T according to debtclock.

So blackrock is hardly cornering the market though the occassional purchased neighborhood does sound dramatic.

Lol, they manage/provide “expert analysis/advice” to about $21 trillion world-wide which makes them privy to a lot of financial institutions' and central banks' information. They are a front, conduit, or middle-man as they say. Their holdings mean jack squat, however, what they have access to makes them a front runner to "interesting times".
