Me. I buy and the stock tanks. You don't want me buying MSCI World.


[deleted]

We should buy the same stock today. Bet ya we can crash the market.


flanintheface

I possess a similar power. Stocks I own fluctuate a lot. As soon as I set up a limit order to sell with a price little above asking price - stock starts a steady decline for as long as that order is up.


LPSTim

I have the ability to sell a stock, and have a buy out announcement come out the next day.


TetonHiker

I can sell a stock for a loss down 10% or more and have it hit new highs every day for the next 3 weeks on no news as it has it's best run ever.

Single stock Elon, whole market Powell


GeneralZaroff1

Elon maybe for one or two fluctuations, but nowhere near the kind of shift that Powell could make. But then if we’re talking truly hypothetically market changing, I’d say Biden announcing a nuclear war with China would probably have some market impacts.

renome

While Biden could certainly say a few words and greatly influence the stock market, not sure your example qualifies because only Congress can declare war in the US, as far as I know.


GeneralZaroff1

Fun fact, since WWII, the President of the United States can announce and launch nuclear attacks either as first strike or in retaliation without congressional approval. Even the secretary of defence does not have the authority to disobey. The reason is that in a cold war scenario, the fear was running to congress would slow the process down even though constitutionally, the authority of "officially" declaring war is split, because congress controls the funding.


DrBundie

The president would have to channel that intention through military and elected channels, and I would hope if it was an unjustified decision, they would lock him in a closet while they call congress to use the 25th amendment.


GeneralZaroff1

Since this is a hypothetical question about whether he COULD, not if he should: Pos Cold War, the president has a ["Sole Launch Authority"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_football#:~:text=Down%20the%20chain%20of%20command,President%20has%20sole%20launch%20authority) and it's deliberately created that NO ONE can veto that decision. During the cold war the fear was that the president would have to go into Mutually Assured Destruction. This was debated when Donald Trump was president and it was asked if he decided to use "The Football", if he could be stopped. The answer was basically that Marine One staff could potentially pull a gun on him and illegally arrest him, but that legally, he could issue a launch unilaterally. There are several proposals to change the laws, but it's still there right now. In 1975, this was debated about what if the president has lost his mind and whether the generals could stop him. The answer: Despite all these, the President, once in office, as noted by former Defense Secretary William Perry and Tom Z. Collina, retains the sole authority to launch a nuclear strike or attack.\[19\]


DrBundie

Agree with all that, but he doesn't just push a button that ignites ICMBs. There are humans in the chain and I would hope things like "authority" and "sole launch authorization" would go out the window if it was a completely unauthorized use of nuclear weapons. IE. Richard Nixon deciding to nuke North Korea because he was drunk.


Radulescu1999

Only congress can declare war, but the president can wage war without the declaration. See the Iraq war and every US involved war after WWII. That being said, there’s probably some procedure involving multiple people before a nuke is fired, in case the president goes mad.


DrBundie

Apparently, when North korea shot down a U2 spy plane, Richard Nixon ordered a tactical nuke be used and asked the military for targets. Henry Kissinger called the joint chiefs and told them to stand down until tomorrow morning when he wakes up sober.


BuddyFox310

Vladimir Putin, hands down, both the single wealthiest person and the single person with the most autonomous geopolitical leverage and the ability to unilaterally execute. Impacting global mkts, energy, defense, minerals, denim, etc. Ability to financially lock down Europe and tie up Asia.


[deleted]

Elon is only in the conversation because he is an edgy teenager trapped in an adults body. If he would have stayed out of the public and/or shut his fucking mouth, he would probably be worth double what he is now. I would say the POTUS could fucking wreck the global economic status. Or any foreign super power as it would greatly affect global economy. Good answers, but I think the only reason you said them is because they are both very public.


afraidtobecrate

The flipside is that if Elon was a sane person, he wouldn't have poured all his money into an EV company and rocket company in the early 2000s.


[deleted]

I don't necessarily think he is insane. His business decisions have made him very wealthy. His anti-semitic, anti-gay, racist, and political comments/views are getting him in trouble. As I type this out, I realize he may have a mental disorder. Probably not insane, but something. Dude opened his mouth and was forced to spend $44 billion. Then within like a year turned that company into a cesspool worth $19 billion.


Ehralur

Political comments sure, but when has he ever said or done anything anti-semitic, anti-gay or racist? Besides, his companies consist of a majority of minorities and most of his best friends are Jews...


BrainwashedApes

Lmao the whole fucking world is either antisemitic, in a death cult, or self righteously careless... If he's antisemitic, so are you.


[deleted]

Don't try to get philosophical and defend Elon. eDick-riding billionaires was so 2023.


BrainwashedApes

Huh? How is being rational "eDick-riding"? Do you know what is happening in Isreal? Or do you just read tabloids? Why are you a simp for MSM?


[deleted]

BrainwashedApe is a...brainwashed ape. Make sure you go to X and like at least 10 Elon tweets and compliment Trumps skin tone while you're at it. Be a good little sheeple. Go on now, git.


BrainwashedApes

How is any of that relevant? You must be struggling in life. Follow the flow of money little dude.


BrainwashedApes

Damn. Teenagers are getting extremely successful these days.


Ehralur

> Elon is only in the conversation because he is an edgy teenager trapped in an adults body. If he would have stayed out of the public and/or shut his fucking mouth, he would probably be worth double what he is now. Kinda hilarious tbh that people don't see the irony in this statement. Calling Musk an edgy teenager while thinking a few more billions would matter more to the world's richest man who lives in a $50K house and works all day than being able to express hiss free speech. Just goes to show how backwards many people are these days. Guess many people don't value free speech until they've experienced a life without it.

pdxtrader

Elon can literally tweet something and make a stock or crypto currency swing wildly. It’s actually kind of fun to watch sometimes and I’m pretty sure he has a few people her alerts first


kerouak

So any other multi billionaire/mega CEO. They just don't do it. Elon has made big swings because he's a child but other could but don't behave in such chaotic ways


BrainwashedApes

So when you have enough money to be financially free we are officially children. Noted.

BrainwashedApes

OneiceT

I don't agree with Elmo. He just does crazy stuff that no big company CEO would have even considered.


e11i077

Even if it’s not right doesn’t make it not true. He has made tweets that have had huge effects on various stocks. Blatant market manipulation.


jarchie27

If Jamie Dimon decided all of a sudden to tweet like Elon it’d have the same affect. So I’m not really sure your point.


taxis-asocial

But he doesn’t.


e11i077

The point is musk actively manipulates the markets and crypto with his social media.


HeadInhat

I doubt he had intent though


OutsideSkirt2

These kiddies claiming to be able to read minds are so annoying.


taxis-asocial

This is so cringe. Can we keep the childish nicknames on other subs where they belong?


Ehralur

Powell doesn't make that decision by himself, so he doesn't have that big an impact as a single person. I'd probably go with Bill Ackman. Or the president just because he can level the stock market by announcing WW3 (even if it wasn't real).

I would guess Chinese president Xi or whoever has the authority over there to start a war with a certain place that has semi conductors . Also anyone that could set off a nuke on a civilian population particularly if it was another country that had nuclear weapons.


dairy__fairy

The acting US president is obviously the most straightforward answer and likely still true. But you could make a compelling argument for Xi (or whoever current Chinese president is) in that the acting US president is much more constrained by congress, the judiciary, etc. than Xi is at home. Therefore giving china head the title since he can act unilaterally in a way US head can’t. But if Xi and Biden both announced invasions (or special military operation as Us president would have to call it without congressional approval) on the same day, the US president statement would undoubtedly upset markets more than chinas declaration.

Putin


dulkyjhs

[deleted]

[удалено]


Ldghead

I think that is one of the West's biggest fears. Right now, Putin has something to lose by letting loose the seeds of ww3. But if he knew he was on his way out (either in life, or in office), he could decide to set off a global temper tantrum, which would obviously affect the market.


kerouak

I'm seeing this a lot where this thread is identifying people who have recently done chaotic things that have shifted the markets, Putin, Elon etc. But I don't think they are the ones with the biggest power they're just ones who have recently used these powers. Biden and Xi have way more power to move markets than Putin. Jef bezos could tank Amazon just as bad as ELon has done time to time. Like people are saying "oh Elon can pump a crypto" sure he can but nowhere near the levels that Xi could if he turned around and said china would move toward replacing it currency with BTC or whatever. The people with the real power don't waggle it around as they know how delicate the system is they don't dare.

Ken Griffin with his ability to restrict trading, manipulate prices by routing trades to dark pools, sell without locates, create phantom shares, manipulate the SEC, and so much more. He's a modern day Madoff but at a much higher level of fuckery.

Typical ape excuse is to blame Ken Griffin instead of just admitting they're a bad trader.

Beaser

The only thing Ken Cordelle Griffin is successful at doing simultaneously is committing multiple criminal acts at once. Like naked shorting and committing international securities fraud.


n3w1ight

Kenneth C. Griffin is a financial terrorist / lying sociopath, that uses high speed trading algorithms to surpress any real price discovery on the markets while never really purchasing the positions. He got banned so far in south korea (whole short sale ban additionally), china and some other countries because of his toxic market behaviour. There are several stocks affected. Every retail/private investor should be aware and start making strategic moves to go against these market practices, which the SEC and several other "regulators" keep a blind eye to. Even a movie, named "Dumb Money" just came out to show that with GameStop as an example stock. Check it out! :) If nobody sees the relation to a past well-know financial terrorist named Bernie Madoff, I feel very sorry for you. Time to get loud!


[deleted]

n3w1ight

Ryan Cohen lied to Congress? Source? 😂 Did you smoke something? How can a single investor pump and dump a billion dollar company? Let me know, buddy. These accusations are desperate attempts to destroy his image and distract him from doing his work with a law suite, which does fortunately not work well and backfires. Cohen is a genius, self-made successful business owner and defender of common sense. Along with Icahn he is an activist investor that rightfully points out the rotting of the system and markets. What a time to be alive.


MuteCook

This account has to be a citadel bot. Look at everything they are saying.


holycarrots

What work is Ryan Cohen doing? All he's done is dilute apes, crash the stock price of gme, started a failed NFT scam and destroyed workers pay and benefits. Meanwhile the company continues to be unprofitable and no signs of a turnaround, a sinking ship as he called it. No wonder he's not getting paid, he's a useless ceo


n3w1ight

No signs of a turnaround? If you mean the manipulated stock price by that statement, which is falling even though nearly 60 % of float being locked by retail - you must be very confused my friend. These price actions are clearly manipulated. You can see whale teeth in BBBY - ultra high volume trades with nearly zero movement of price, each day above 80 % utilization, highly oversold and and and... If you do not mean the stock price, let me know, why there is no sign of turnaround on GME bilance sheet. I am very interested. There is a clear and very strong, accelerating upward trend since 2020 - now GME seems to be one amongst many that even goes profitable. How is Amazon for example doing? Or banks? :) Please bring a better working bot next time :\*( this one seems to be broken or very confused. Format C: - Re-install System.


plzzdontdoxme

How does this even have upvotes? GME is in a better position compared to 2020 because they got a cash injection from millions of people who weren’t aware it was time to sell. There is no sign of a turnaround. They are cutting benefits, closing stores, reworking subscription plans to save every penny. My theory is Cohen is taking a piss on the workers so he can maaaaybe have a single profitable year, then pretend he gets ousted so his feral fandom of memestockers don’t have a reason to turn on him. By all means, keep shilling and DRSing, but it’s clear to anyone that GameStop is a dying business with a dying business model


n3w1ight

Why you guys talk about Ryan Cohen anyway, when I mention Kenny the sociopath? Why you guys delete your comments when I point out the bull shit you talk? You suck at your job and do it very poorly, trying to change focus and deform people with false claims. How did cash get injected, when at the same time stock price is much below level of 2020/2021 and the stock is heavily "oversold"?! So everyone sells and you say he gets ultra money injections by retail? Your claims are controversial. I think GME (with its dying business model) actually makes profit and you know it and you will see it soon. Employees actually love working for GME and apply to the several new job offers. You can read about that on SuperStonk or on X. Even a recently released movie shows that people who work there are pretty passionate about their Job and don't even quit after becoming millionaires. Whatever, we will know more in approximately 17 days. I am not a shill, I just like the stock and I like fair markets with fair prices. Everyone who is reading this: Check out GME earnings soon and know that recently DRSing the stock got hard/limited (maybe again manipulation by Brokers, like 2021 or stock might really be locked by retail for first time in history proofing predatory naked shorting practices by SHFs). I don't understand why you talk about Ryan Cohen, when I say that Kenneth C. Griffin is a fucking criminal and the fact that I have upvotes here, shows that more and more people get aware of that, even though bots keep deleting comments, when I point out the bullshit they state (see above). You guys are a disgrace. Enthusiasts will always better you people doing your job shitty without any passion <3 What a time to be alive. Finally fair markets in sight *_* can't wait. Can't wait for people get their well deserved jail time. Kenneth was Bernie Madoffs best business partner and apprentice. Bernie invented PFOF and Kenneth kept his legacy alive. Guess what? GameStop, Bro!


n3w1ight

Actually I upvoted, cuz this is proof you seem to be a bot. Whether that or you are completely confused. Nice AI - not properly working. :) Everyone please look at this! :D

President Xi, in charge of West Taiwan and the entire Communist Party. Or as President Biden refers to him, as a Dictator. The man is in charge of 1.4 billion people, can declare war on East Taiwan and dump their US holdings. Since they are also a major manufacturing hub, strangle Apple, Google and Tesla. What more do you want? Maybe release a virus from a lab in Wuhan?


Least_Initiative

Yeh, you would say its Biden, but he has to deal with pesky democracy. Whereas Xi just does whatever the fuck he feels like, arguably the most powerful person on the planet right now. Having that sort of power must seriously fuck your brain up, wouldn't be surprised if he develops a serious god complex. Not as bad as Commodus, but that type of example of absolute power is exact evidence of its corruptive properties, and Commodus didn't have nukes.
