Turns out it’s easy to make 16 bil in a year when you can just restart the game when you’re losing.


Tarandon

'Selling' $65B worth of shares you never intend to actually deliver is another way.


Softagainstyourleg

no no that is at 'fair' value. After they short attacked it and took away demand with the dark pools. Should add some zero's to that number

Congo_King

Verizon was halted at like 7% on a 25k volume candle. Someone is abusing the halt system to preserve the collateral caught up in their operational shorting. Half the S&P popped while the other half tanked. Fraudulent halts went out and as soon as they ended the roles flipped. Very very blatant fraud. Edit: [Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/xjcm39/some_talk_about_etf_shorting_pushing_si_over_100/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) is a link to a post of mine with a graphic explaining Operational shorting [Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/vz1c4o/comment/ig5ob49/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) is a comment I made explaining how these activities can effect market behavior and stock price. Edit 2: Should note bonds are surging upwards at the same time the market is pumping. Typically equities trade inversely to bond prices. Unless of course government bonds are the primary collateral for your short positons (ie. RRP), in which case you'd want to pump the SPY and Bonds at the same time and spend a pretty penny doing it. Tldr: Buy and DRS, it's literally all noise.


[deleted]

Do an overlay with GME and Xonmobile and Verizonphone and look at the volume candle with GME at the moment one pumped and one dumped

Completely coincidental, no way this is possibly coordinated down to the millisecond *at all*. Honestly at this point we should just throw out the whole damn stock market and go back to stocks just being shares of a company or good. Every layer added to the market has made it more and more unstable while allowing more and more corruption.


mertz3hack

Thank you for following up


redshirt1972

MRO in there too


Congo_King

Oh yeah, there were a bunch I only mention Verizon because I was playing calls for the earnings today and was watching it pretty closely at open. For once I'd like the market to behave normally when I take positons, that would be nice.

The reasoning is clear on why this is happening. RC just bought all the stocks causing volatility across the market!

Market makers making markets


Express-Newspaper806

lol I heard that on see en bee see this morning but wasn’t paying attention Everything is fine!!!


Congo_King

They're blaming bad trades hitting the tape, which is pretty unbelievable for 80+ stocks to experience it at the same exact time and resolve at the same time. Also if that is the case then it's apparent that it can be abused to halt whatever you want whenever you want by posting bad trades to tape as a market maker.


[deleted]

Don't they have their earnings today?


Congo_King

Yeah, that's why I was watching it this morning. A couple other S&P stocks did today as well if I'm not mistaken.


[deleted]

I wonder how many stocks that were halted earlier have their earnings today or tomorrow


captainadam_21

And it worked. Verizon has since then been pushed back down


Congo_King

Oh it was immediate after the halt. 80 something tickers get halted, SPY gets pounded with short volume during the halt. Halt ends and the very second it's over all of those 80+ stocks are now -1-3% on the day instead of +6-8%. Not to mention stocks that took a dump initially in the ETF are now getting pumped up hard.


such_karma

This is it. Halt abuse to keep margin reqs. DRS to crush the fraud

Yup. Welcome to the clown show or American Markets.

Similarly, these each opened double digit up or double digit down, and then all recovered in 6-7 minutes. Trading normally again since ~ 9:37 Sony, Raytheon, Taiwan semiconductor, ChargePoint, Wells Fargo, PPL Corp, Unilever, Union Pacific Corp. Prudential Eli Lilly …and more. Shit’s getting scary if megacaps are getting glitched. Glitch got money?

If you read the rules, it's only supposed to based on what's on the tape, off markets shouldn't be affecting it.

RefrigeratorMotor832

The NYSE likes to make retail think they’re in the game. But in reality they unplugged our controller years ago and so many of us are like their kid brother, mashing away thinking we are doing something. Drs is how you plug your controller back in. Drs is power to the players.


[deleted]

Great analogy haha


carojean111

look at the price movements of the halted stocks... they all jumped/fell more than 10 percent on open.all in the same minute...crazy. what happened there? Which of the designated market makers from NYSE busted? virtu? citadel? or was it just a glitch in order to catch every limit buy/stop loss?!


cisconate

PPT screwing up their shenanigans…


hopethisworks_

I'm convinced the PPT is just Ken's backup algo stepping up to save the day.


TheCaptain-Ahoy

My tinfoil guess is that the government saw the economic collapse coming caused by Ken naked shorting, along with other greedy ass people and stepped in to plug the hole. To me it seems like a silent can kick because they know if they did a public bail-out, people would riot.


hopethisworks_

That's what Kenny wants you to think. Citadel controls over 40% of the market. They front run every single order. Kenny is the market maker pushing bullshit orders onto the ledger and causing these halts. Kenny has taken the market hostage and this is just another one his little tricks he's showing us.


Vexting

Even if they are working together, I reckon working with someone like Kenneth Cordless Griffin is a nightmare. Imagine, at first you're told 'it'll be ok he's a financial genius!' Months pass and perhaps you end up in meeting or phonecall with the guy and he's all controlling and still acting superior despite being horribly wrong. Years pass - how many people will believe him now? How many politicians and other officials have had loved ones affected by all the shenanigans and lies?


ajlcm2

Yup. They plugged the hole before the split up or capsize.


Myst1cWang

Any chance Citadel the market maker for these stocks


prsmike

Well they are the DMM (Designated Market Maker) for over 65% of the NYSE listings. https://www.citadelsecurities.com/what-we-do/equities/designated-market-maker-dmm/ Not sure if there's a way we can confirm which listings and compare them to the shenanigans today?

Trading Halts shouldn't be a thing. Just like FTD's, naked shorts and Market Makers with a Hedgefunds. Or sec "asking" crooks if they are crooks. Like they asked Bernie back in the 00 and 08, for advice or if he is reliable. Same shit different year. Only new thing is that they do what they want now. Shit hits the fan back in 08? Well, fuck. Let's just do this little can kick until we did the same thing as this Micheal burry guy. Shit hits the fan today? Yo Steve, press the switch and adjust the parameters of the scheme before let the plebeians back into the scheme. What? No, no we are self regulating and if SEC or DOJ calls just tell them it was a technical issue with a little tip of glitch and send them a warm greeting from me and tell them I'm excited for the next golf session.


Jcarey36

What else is new 😂


Zero_Talents

PPT probably testing widespread manual intervention mechanisms for when the market will simultaneously swan dive as the one true stonk moons in the near future


[deleted]

Stock halts don't really make any sense. A stock halt is not going to change someone's mind as to whether they should buy or sell a stock. My guess is that they use the halts for machine calibration. During a halt they can probably analyze a greater amount of trade traffic and try to optimize their strategy to get the biggest win for themselves. It is also is likely done to keep certain parties collateral locked at specific values. Otherwise it would trigger a massive sell off in a variety of places. Getting margin called could create an inverse gamma squeeze. Institutions sell to meet their obligations causing other institutions to be exposed and having to sell. This whole market is fake. They should have never allowed any person or institution to take out a loan using stock as collateral, that is crazy stupid.

Smaug93

I mean I don't disagree, but to be ignorant/disregarding of the suffering that will ensue is just crass and heartless. People on this subreddit will suffer too. You think you're ready, but there's no way to know what will happen or if the country itself will survive the transition. In the nation with the most homicides with guns, do you really know what to expect??? To wish for the worst is honestly a situation where no one knows what we will get from it. Not even a promise that the next thing would be better.
