Dark pools are private off-exchange stock market trades that dominate corporate finance in 2023 due to complicit SEC and corrupt Congress shills. The reason companies use dark pools and other private exchanges is because they do not have to report much about them, and so they can send all the buy or sell orders there if they dont want those to affect the public price of shares.
I am starring at the DOW chart recently, meditating and wondering “are the rich really going to destroy all faith in the lit exchange and just make all real trades private?”
But as GG at the SEC says (as he looks like Gollum) “retail trades are tooooo sweeeet to ignore”. So i guess they need to keep some way for us to give them their money voluntarily like a lottery. When 1% short sellers drain whatever companies they feel like taking money from, they have a simple response to investors – “oh well you chose to play in a legal scam (which their lawyers consider substantially different than fraud which is illegal)”.
This US-Ukraine War against Russia is the start of WW3 and the 2nd Great Depression. It all can be reversed, but not without major political changes. The DOW 5 year chart – the Covid Crash is the first large crack or valley, and the 2 more recent cracks are part of this 2nd Great Depression because it is lasting so long, and has so many other socio-economic aspects besides the short-selling stock market epidemic and uncontrollable inflation. It is rumored most of the big companies are keeping the market afloat with buy backs, but there are also holding pattern algos connected to private dark pools collecting profits from investors.
The US MIC elites are doing what the Russian Empire did in the 1800s – drain national wealth into aristocracies who run an inflated military to control serfs and cause genocide. This kind of total control hates learning and trade, due to xenophobia and racism. Trade depends on TRUST of some kind. Records show US banks and market makers have lost money, yet these companies are bragging about record profits. Are they using 2 sets of books, one for taxes and another for clients and news??
The Swiss National Bank has reported an annual loss of $141.54 billion, which is the largest in the central bank’s 115-year history. The central bank lost $147.3 billion (141 billion Swiss francs) on its foreign currency positions, and $1.1 billion (1.1 billion Swiss francs) was lost in Gold holdings. – Unusual Whales
