Beware Evil Hedgies!!!

Cartoons of stock market characters by Drogo

Hedge Funds have profited from draining free market capital using ‘short positions‘ for decades.

Note for hedgie lawyers and those elites who constantly collude to manipulate our financial market to favor the rich: The Ape Movement collaboration is not collusion, this movement is not manipulation, this economic opinion is not financial advice. Nothing to see here, move along. US Constitutional Amendments give civilians the right to assemble in protest, freedom of speech, and to form unions. Only government employees sacrifice those rights to serve, and we demand they serve on the behalf of everyone not just the rich. We are fighting against market manipulation, for a more fair way to trade and invest.

AMC Hedgies (some may have long positions) include:

Citadel, Blackrock, Vanguard, Squarepoint, SG Americas Securities, Citigroup, Mudrick, Goldman Sachs, Riley, Creative Planning, Engineers GM, Advisory Services Network, Voloridge IM, BNP PA, 140 Summer Partners, Antara Capital, Apollo MH, Athanor Capital, Bank of America, Bank of Montreal, Barclays, Bluefin CM, Cower Co., CSS, Cutler Group, DE Shaw, Group One Trading, Hap Trading, IMC Chicago, Jane Street Group, JP Morgan Chase, Nomura, Peak 6, Prelude CM, Raymond James FSA, Scopus AM, Sculptor Capital, SG3 MG, Simplex Trading, Susquehanna, UBS Goup, Walleye Trading, Wanda, Wolverine AM & Trading, XR Securities [vanguard and apollo are assumed to be long since vanguard has fund allocations and AMC CEO AA was on the Apollo board and Wanda was a partner] sources : Reddit, Yahoo Finance, and other holder listings

Vanguard was assumed to be using the lit exchange for direct retail trades, but now evidence suggests that Vanguard has been using “partner market centers” from at least 2010 to 2021. These partner “Venues” include: Citadel Securities, Citigroup, VIRTU, SUSQ, Wolverine, G1 Execution Services, and UBS Securities. So according to their TKG (The Karn Group) accounting report, a Vanguard public letter dated 2010, and their own info page – Vanguard routes orders to market makers for “best execution price” (aka market manipulation for hedge funds). This PFOF (pay for order flow) liquidity pool is then traded off the open or lit-market in dark pools to rig supply and demand values publicly and keep large trades privately hidden for periods of time (unverifiable due to corrupt control and deregulation). Most trades go to Citadel (40-60%) as “Non-Directed Orders”.

The end result of this market maker collusion is that hedge funds short or drain most of the market to pump the DOW and their accounts. When we buy shares of stock in a company, those buy orders may not be showing up on the open market, which causes the price to decline and they can make money shorting it. If shorts ever need to cover borrowed shorts of companies they are trying to bankrupt, they can buy back shares at a much lower price. Ideally if a company they are draining goes bankrupt, hedgies never need to buy back any shares. Additionally without regulation illegal shorting techniques like naked shorting are used against investors.
