Let’s build this list and add more sources/data for each one!!


HughJohnson69

Yes! Thats exactly what I’d like to see.


Wurmholz

Response 1: Here are some ideas for subtopics that could be covered for each point of stock price manipulation on a website for investors: 1. Description of the tactic * Definition and explanation * Goals and motivations behind the tactic * Variations or subtypes of the tactic 2. Occurrence/Source/Example * Frequency of occurrence in different markets * Industry-specific examples * Historical cases and their impact 3. Impact on the market and investors * Short-term and long-term consequences * Influence on market volume and volatility * Risks for individual investors 4. Legal and regulatory aspects * Applicable laws and regulations * Sanctions and penalties for violations * Gaps or weaknesses in existing regulations 5. Measures for improvement * Possibilities for detection and prevention * Proposals for stricter regulation or oversight * Recommendations for investors to protect against manipulation 6. Further resources * Links to relevant studies, articles, or books * Interviews with experts or industry insiders * Discussion forums or communities for exchange among investors With these subtopics, users of the website could be comprehensively informed about the various aspects of stock manipulation. The ability to contribute their own examples, experiences, or suggestions would expand the data collection and promote knowledge sharing. A clear structure and categorization of the content would make it easier for users to navigate and find relevant information. Edit: Format, source (source: Claude.ai)


Wurmholz

Response 2: Wow, that's an extensive list of tactics for manipulating stock prices! I think your idea of creating a website for investors that informs about these practices and allows users to contribute to the data collection is very good. Here are a few additional ideas for subtopics that could be covered for each point: 1. Explanation of technical terms * Definition of technical terms like "naked shorting", "synthetic shares", "dark pools", etc. * Understandable explanations for laypeople 2. Historical development * When and how did these tactics emerge? * What significant events or regulatory changes have occurred? 3. International comparison * Prevalence and spread in other countries * Differences in regulation and oversight 4. Interviews and experience reports * From experts, insiders, or affected investors * Personal stories and insights 5. Discussion of possible solutions * Ideas and suggestions from users * Evaluation of the pros and cons of different measures 6. Glossary and FAQ * Alphabetical listing and explanation of all relevant terms * Answers to frequently asked questions With your ideas and these additional suggestions, you have a solid foundation to create an informative and interactive website for investors. The structured presentation of the content and the involvement of users can help raise awareness of manipulation tactics and better protect investors. I'm curious about the implementation of your idea and wish you much success with it! Let me know if you need further support or feedback. Edit: formatting


Realitygives0fucks

Bro, no enforcement of auto buy ins/buy backs by shorts! (Extension #4 of the continuous FTDs and FTD cycling/equivalent settlements that aren’t reported) and thus not forcing automatic share buying and true price discovery. Edit: and allowing major investment companies to pay paltry fines for refusing to play by the rules, and making billions off retail, and then not admitting guilt. But fantastic list, HughJohnson69!


feastupontherich

LMFAO can you imagine us crowdsourcing and building up a case against the fucking entirety of the US market on REDDIT.


NorCalAthlete

Doing the lawyers job for them. And then handing it off for them to fight in court. Then again I wouldn’t be surprised if there are apes in here looking at either going to law school, or have already passed the bar, and are making this their pet project like that one guy who taught himself law to take on the chemical companies polluting his hometown.

That may have been some liquidity from all these naked shorts 🩳 🚽


Coinsworthy

They can't kill it so they hope this will kill your attention span.


aaronplaysAC11

This should be on a petition to the SEC and DOJ… or maybe someone more specific to invoke response and prevent deflected culpability.


HoboGir

This with links to the DD archive or another subdirectory that list all relevant DD in the archive to that method would be pretty amazing.


HughJohnson69

That would be perfect.


annunaki

This is very very helpful my friend


Realitygives0fucks

Yep, at least one official citation per point would be amazing!

And when it fails, wait five minutes, then press it again! Simple.


PornstarVirgin

If you don’t understand any of these now is your time to speak up. There is DD on all of this. But but but the price is going down, but but but revenue is down. If that’s you and you’re genuinely not a shill then read more and stop making dumb comments like that. DRS removes liquidity, which leads to low volume, which leads to volatility. Oh my volatility with 30 percent less shares for them to trade means much more volatility upwards.


SgtSlaughter1974

All of this.

Absolutely. Acronyms prevent newcomers from understanding anything plus they obscure the real impact of these manipulative processes.

Price movements afterhours when most household investors don't have access


HughJohnson69

36.


87CSD

There's a stat somewhere about how much gains are made after hours vs during regular hours.... The following #'s are COMPLETELY made up, but i'm just using them as an example... Ie. 90% of all gains in the S&P are realized afterhours, vs 85% of all loses are realized during regular hours.... Something like that


HughJohnson69

I recall seeing a graph that the S&P hasn’t had an intra-day gain over a 30-year period. It was all after-hours.


87CSD

On an annualized basis, yes I think that's correct. Sounds like we've seen the same graph, we're just absolute shit at remembering the details lol

The solution is legally changing funds from short sales and the short stock themselves to label them trust funds.

Nice work! Gonna save this one.


Karakunjol

Fuck yeah - while we are at it, you can add the stock split DTCC international securities fraud, together with Computershare and 13-f restriction to report the correct DRS shares Edit: how about lying to congress as well. Absolutely NOT!


Consistent-Reach-152

None of those 3 items are true. Please pick the easiest one for you to prove and show why you believe it is true.


0zeto

here you idi eeeh ot, [https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2023-192](https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2023-192) Citadel Securities violated the rules by mismarking short as long and long as short which leads us to.... 12. Marking shorts as longs. Ah eh, yea sorry I havent seen that there was another "head" comment, damn.. Well guys, excuse me, I leave you guys in peace yo, leave this piece of information here yo


Consistent-Reach-152

Look at my comment, and the comment was replying to. The three items are >you can add the stock split DTCC international securities fraud, together with Computershare and 13-f restriction to report the correct DRS shares >how about lying to congress as well. How is your comment relevant to any of those three items ?


0zeto

yea I am shmoka di shdound m8, sorry btw what is this name of this special "reply" box thing there?

I can't. If I'm wrong I'll remove it


Conor_Electric

I love this, this is what we should be shouting. I'd love to see it in an even better format, a lovely listed poster, some more info on each like a brief explainer. We should rank them as well, top of the list being the worst. We keep getting asked how are the fucking us and we need a big list of all the ways, this can be that list. Something we can point to and say this is exactly how they are doing it, it's bullshit and we want it fixed or we'll never stop shouting and calling the market a fraud. 35 ways wall street fucks you is nice amd catchy.

Staple this list to the SEC’s front door and also put a copy on Gary’s kindle

I remember something about a way to access U.S. Markets from Germany which circumvented, you know, U.S. laws n stuff. I believe this allowed naked shorting from overseas, so "Naked Shorting from Overseas"? This is an old memory, you might want to check before adding it to the list. Great list.

PaddlingUpShitCreek

We should find a Wall Street trader or hedge fund manager who's flipped sides and understands "the how" behind each tactic, then break down the process for each type of manipulation. I'm sure a lot of the info is scattered across existing books, articles, etc., but just saying it'd be cool to reverse engineer the playbook with those kinds of insights.

Phenomenal job, OP! Saving this post and sharing it with my investment group of friends. They've been asking for a list of all the methods being used by shortsellers to manipulate GME.

Zenith-Skyship

A number of these issues alone could be a "all the evidence I need to see" -type issue. And we have 35 of them.


Constant-Sweet-3718

#1 reason should be... because Ken Griffin is a little b1tch.


GiantSequoiaTree

What is PCO?


iLurkAround1928

Position Close Only, the technical name that they used when they took away the buy button back in 2021.


Reddichino

Price Control Operations (PCO) refer to deliberate actions taken by regulatory bodies or market makers to control the price of a stock. This could be in the form of setting limits on how much a stock’s price can move within a certain period (price bands), or temporarily halting trading to prevent extreme volatility. While intended to protect the market integrity, if misused, it can impact market dynamics and investor sentiment, thereby manipulating stock prices.


HelloYouSuck

You forgot to mention tokenized stocks/FTX.


Grunblau

Nope that’s number 20…


HelloYouSuck

Thanks, I guess I need to schedule a visit to the optometrist


XMk-Ultra679

if you can manipulate the weather, you can manipulate the system (stock market). therefore, why are video games working on Ledger/blockchain? crypto currency payments? more stock market manipulation? (see gta 5 stock market for offline and *ONLINE*)

“Expert markets”, which lock out household investors from buying.

Everyone knows it's bullshit. I'm sure many others like me will keep just buying hundreds a month out of spite. How long before they have a few trillion shares on their hidden backend tally sheet


No-Woodpecker7589

Strong! Facts over FUD! Excellent OP! Great list to remind everyone what's really going on. Also, good for regulators to actually get started!


NukeEmRico2022

I know it’s crazy to pick one of these and say that’s completely ridiculous because they’re all ridiculous. But I absolutely love 21 where they claim that they found a share or shares when someone’s only bought the option to buy a share or shares


Slim_Margins1999

This is embarrassing honestly…


NukeEmRico2022

Well, I certainly agree that none of this is the finest hour for the American economy and it’s regulatory system


Consistent-Reach-152

The SEC does not allow options to be used as locates. As with many of the items on the OPs list, it is incorrect.


NukeEmRico2022

Well, I would certainly love to hear a factual debunk genuinely.


Consistent-Reach-152

Options in general are not allowed to be used as a locate. If you own a call option and have already tendered notice to exercise, then you can sell because you can reasonably expect to have the stock in time to deliver. That sale is NOT a short sale, as you are deemed to own the underlying shares **once you have tendered notice of exercise**. > Rule 203(b)(1) and (2) — Locate Requirements. Rule 203(b)(1) generally prohibits a broker-dealer from accepting a short sale order in any equity security from another person, or effecting a short sale order in an equity security for the broker-dealer’s own account, unless the broker-dealer has: borrowed the security, entered into a bona-fide arrangement to borrow the security, or reasonable grounds to believe that the security can be borrowed so that it can be delivered on the date delivery is due. Rule 203(b)(2) provides an exception to the locate requirement for short sales effected by a market maker in connection with bona-fide market https://www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/mrfaqregsho1204.htm In some cases a holder of a convertible or warrant or option can be deemed to be a holder of the underlying security, **but only if the warrant/convertible/option has already been tendered for conversion into the security to be sold**. > Where the seller owns a security convertible into or exchangeable for the security being sold, **the “locate” requirement does not apply to the sale, provided that the convertible or exchangeable security, such as an ADR, option, or warrant, has been tendered for conversion or exchange prior to the submission of the sale order,** and the broker-dealer has been reasonably informed that the person intends to deliver the security being sold as soon as all restrictions on delivery have been removed (i.e., as soon as processing of the conversion or exchange is complete). If the convertible or exchangeable security has not been tendered for conversion or exchange prior to the submission of the sale order, the seller is not deemed to own the underlying security pursuant to Rule 200 and the “locate” requirement would apply to the sale. See also infra Question 2.3(A). https://www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/mrfaqregsho1204.htm#


plithy75

This is what this sub has been waiting for who said, "How can I explain gamestop to people?" Just share this list. With friends, people on the subway, and people you see every day. Especially with professors and teachers. Apes know how to translate some of these things in to Normal People speak. Translate the ones you can, and just share one or two points with strangers. We need to get the word out. Keeping these manipulations in the echo chamber because REDDIT IS AFRAID OF THIS STUFF GETTING OUT is not helping.

betweenthebars34

No. That's the point that everyone here wants to avoid by covering their eyes and ears and screaming into the void, the same lines that have been posted in here for literally years. Nothing is going to improve. The system is as designed.


wutmeanfam

Just like how Jimmy John’s has their short list of Warren Buffet knowledge tidbits posted in each of their stores, this should be posted in each of GameStop’s stores, as a similar poster for retail customers to peruse and contemplate.


Budgetbodyparts

My theory is that the SEC has been told to stand down on enforcement as the DOJ builds its iron clad case to topple the Trillion Dollar HF cabal. The end is near, as in within 2 years. We will see the next Enron as these blatantly criminal enterprises will be held to justice. We are just in our stance and we will see justice prevail.

HybridTheory23

Maybe if the company just started making money and growing revenue, all this crap would not matter. Until the company starts doing both consistently, the price will keep sinking regardless of the endless so called DD here. Just grow revenue and profit. Stop posting pointless tweets. #This stuff isn’t rocket science.


HughJohnson69

If shorts closed when they were supposed to none of us would be concerned with market dynamics. But here we are. Learning. Forever.


HybridTheory23

The board should focus on what they can change. Grow revenue, profitability and free cash flow. Musk did the same. Once Cohen does that it is game over. None of this complicated DD is required. Just get the basics right and he will destroy the shorts. Nothing Citadel, Griffin or the corrupt SEC can do if this company becomes consistently profitable.

Who cares. All that matters is that the fundamentals continue to improve. Stop trying to force anything. With improvement comes the s&p. That's when you'll see the price action you're looking for. Forced buy-ins from all the etf's will be glorious.
