i 100% believe its done on purpose. stomp the stocks as low down as they can go. The wealthy will then buy it up as part of the plan. Then they'll send the stocks to the moon with more manipulation. Bailouts for more capital, then lifting restrictions, deregulation, ending tariffs to open up floodgates for lower cost imports and higher volume of exports. It will shoot back up.
This is a means of wealth transfer from the middle class to the upper class to keep middle class down. They will sell out of fear and intimidation so they can get something at allfor their investments, rather than retire with basically nothing. Theyll settle for shitty run down senior living center life instead of that dream house on the golf course.
The extremely wealthy have the funds to stay rich through many cycles of this and not blink, but they dont even have to endure it, they profit from it.
I think its mostly the big ones S&P and Fortune 500. These are the ones mostly likely to predictably swing low and high with the changes. All the 'too big to fail' companies.That said, i swear some execs intentionally do the same thing to their own companies stock.
Theres been this trend where companies intentionally bloat. Hire all these people who basically do nothing. It makes profits slim, so stock lowers. They raise prices to intentionally lose customers...the stock tanks more. CEO buys up the shares. Then they do massive layoffs, run lean, lower prices, do high volume, and suddenly the profits soar. Quarterly reports and projections looks amazing, stock price goes high. CEO sells. Then they rinse, repeat and intentionally tank it again. Amazon,
Its worse than insider trading. Insider trading was when CEOs honestly tried to maximize company profits at all times, but would save their own ass if things went south. the new generation considers this unoptimal and routinely, proactively, intentionally puts the company stock on a roller coaster, because they make more profits off buying and selling the stock, than they do just owning the stock and getting dividends of sales of cheeseburgers or microchips or whatever.
Its kind of like the saying...if you arent the customer, you are the product...except now its the publicly traded stock isnt there to make money doing its stated business plan...its just a tool to mooch wealth transfer out of. Apple, microsoft, amazon, mcdonalds...they are just cows being milked.
Does this not also mean poorer ppl can now at least get to buy shares they otherwise wouldn't afford? Will this not potentially benefit everyone or am I just not understanding?
Poor people can barely afford rent and some cant even do that. what are they buying shares with? Hopes and dreams?
Yea, some middle class who are smart and manage money well, like singles who live well below their means, or DINKs, may have means to invest, but they are at a disadvantage. They dont have the insider information. They would always be playing catch up, and would be a step behind the game. Its a much bigger risk for them, because its their entire livelihood and future.
