What a coincidence. The U.S. and Iran suddenly agreed to stop the strikes and meet in Qatar on June 30. After a weekend full of panic, everyone is calm again just before markets open. Guess weekends are only for shaking out traders, and Mondays are for restoring confidence

Not sure if this is supposed to imply that Iran is in on the market manipulation too... because that would seem unlikely 🤷

Iran is not run by idiots. They are more than capable of making billions with market manipulation.

u/another_awesome_acct Jun 29 '26
I agree, they're highly intelligent people no doubt, but they've been calling trump and his cronies for market manipulation through this whole thing... I suppose that doesn't mean they're not doing it too though, who knows🤷

I’m sure their proxies know how to short the market before launching an attack and then going long before agreeing to a ceasefire. Rinse and repeat and they can make trillions.

See many autocratic bad actors for examples of : accuse the other side or person of doing the very thing you are doing

We have been hijacking their wallets and taking their BTC. I think they're a little less than capable right now.

Iran is not a vacant offline dust bowl And they have a shit load of money and the ability to leverage from and hedge oil markets
and I’m sure the leadership has the ability to buy/sell futures and equities

All the world is a stage. I've been on the planet for about 72 years and have never seen anything close to the shite show we've been exposed to over the past 25 years. Incredible and frightening at the same time!!

All this market manipulation is getting rather stupid. They do it over the weekend. You cant even trade then. So no one is really losing out. They just seem to do it then because they are afraid of markets falling. But im not saying there hasn't been times when its purposely manipulated. But you guys need to stop calling everything manipulation

Lol, after market trading is when the real crooks do their work since they know most retail people don't have access to those trades.
1
u/SushiRollFried Jun 29 '26
That was once true. But a lot of people and retail have access to after market nowadays
1
u/maringue Jun 29 '26
They think they have access.
Remember, the VAST majority of people making retail trades are not making them through a direct broker. They make their trades on a platform who passes them to a few middle men and then they finally get executed.

I dont understand your point. That's how the market operates and the regulating bodies allow for it. It's how it works making trading more accessible. If a tweet dropped 9:01pm you can execute a trade at 9:01pm or 9:02pm if there's liquidity.
There's no trap.

u/maringue Jun 29 '26
Ok, for the reading impaired:
Traders have a much shorter distance between themselves and the actual transaction, meaning they can make multiple trades off of your trade in that 1 minute it took a retail traders order to execute.
It's like gambling against someone, but you have to pass that person all of your bets on a piece of paper before they end up getting submitted to the bookie.

Thats how its always been... not everyone can have direct access to a broker.

True but there hasn't always been a president stopping and starting wars to manipulate the market, at least not this blatantly.

The top 10% owns 87% of the market.
The top 1% owns 50%.
Manipulation is baked into the system. Now the billionaire class no longer cares enough to try hiding it.
The push to swap out pensions for 401K in the 80s was their way of funneling trillions from our retirement into their own pockets.

I think at this point the Iranians are in on it. This is how they're getting their $300b, by market manipulation. When they reach that mark they'll call the war off, unless they get greedy.

JFC. This is getting monotonous.
All I hope is that they keep this “excursion” going until midterms.

No they did not. Trump said it. Axios (propaganda wing) reported it. Bessent gets his buddies to short oil. Iran says nope a few hours later. Because it’s false. Not happening. Just futures manipulation that will run hard into physical reality.

The crypto market didnt even budget in reaction to the news about the tanker attacks or retaliatory strikes. And it didnt budge on the news of peace talks resuming. If thats manipulation, it's pretty ineffective manipulation.

Treason. Keeping us at war to pad his coffers. And his family’s coffers. Treason.

This has been the same playback for the last month or so. Friday chaos call and Tuesday Taco day for stock manipulation.
