MIC Suicidal System

Posted in Economics with tags , , , , , , , on March 1, 2024 by Drogo

As I sell out to Capitalist stag-inflation economics, I find myself pondering existentialism.

I am stocking up on commercial consumer products to sell for some stagflation scrapings of net profit income. Hagglers tend to call it scalping, but to me it is retail value mark-ups that drive price increase. It is important for some venues or sellers to keep items for sale at high prices, relative to market averages; otherwise short-sellers will destroy any chance for Capitalist profits. The vulture aspects of carrion Capitalism are exhibited in our current Great Depression infestation of short-sellers. During depression stagflation the retail stock prices are not detached from retail store prices; so as with the Stock Market short-seller corruption, so goes our US economy.

It is almost like elites want the masses to short-sell themselves and commit suicide, because wars, plagues, and pollution are not killing us fast enough to control the population. It does not take a conspiracy theorist to know that less than 1% of the population control world governments, because it is known that billionaires are the real bosses, not politicians. It is popular to realize that workers need unions because of corporate bosses who dont care about them, and it is populist to vote and take action against any power considered to be “the establishment” or the corrupt bosses.

The Military Industrial Complex (MIC) does keep us locked into a suicidal system. We are encouraged by Ebay and Amazon to provide consumers with cheaper prices, so that we get less profits and the Borkian (Robert Bork – corporate shill) trickle-down oligarchs and plutocrats maintain power. It was corporate lawyers like Robert Bork who convinced the Supreme Court that monopolies are ok if they say they provide cheaper prices, and in fact they should defend mega-companies more than individuals.

Case in point, the MIC does not care that the suicide rate of US soldiers is like 20 suicides daily. Only when a soldier commits an extreme suicide publicly does the press even seem to care, sadly. All these unfortunate suicides are less about individual psychological depression, and more about existentialist philosophy and its ability to meditate on suicidal systems as social and cultural phenomena worth paying attention to, at least for sustainability studies.

Any Hope for the Stock Market?

Posted in news, stock market with tags , , , , , , , on November 20, 2023 by Drogo

i just heard today that Elizabeth Warren is speaking out about Trump removing some Dod-Frank rules 5 yars ago… wow took the whole market being shorted for 4 years and a presidential election cycle, but there is some hope with new regulations (ive heard of 3 new ways for the SEC to reduce the white collar crime being allowed now)

Citadel is suing the SEC about the new CAT system designed 10 years ago that they are dragging their feet on, but that combined with the rule that market makers should not be also hedge funds, and maybe some other rules getting enforced better maybe might save Capitalism.

Project Popcorn is in its 2nd or 3rd incarnation as an Ape rebellion against stock market corruption. Project Popcorn is an ongoing share count run by a team of Twitter-X Apes. Apes Jordan Optimal and Al from Boston are also suing the crony companies insider trading against AMC to drain wealth from retail investors for MIC and broker-bank hedge funds. The trend when hedgies start to fail, is for them to relabel their company as a “family firm” which like dark-pools, makes the lit exchange fuel for the black-market. Family firms and dark pools are ways for the rich to avoid regulation and break laws legally because they do not have to report what they are doing.

Value Vampires Vs. Munchkins

The Problem of Hedgie Culture in Oz

Are you or your loved ones worried about their retirement accounts going down? During an economic recession or depression losses in the stock market are made worse by hedge fund companies (Melvin, Apollo, Citadel etc) betting against stocks by taking short positions. Then hedgies manipulate the market with propaganda (fud) and short selling which lowers the price of even the best companies. Please spread the word that our richest companies are draining the entire market, and we all need to pitch in to stop it. Ask a professional or ape about ways to hold hedgies accountable today!

Has anyone explained technically how the price can lower with more buying pressure than selling pressure? One theory is the ‘carrot and stick’ ladder attack, which places huge buy walls lower and lower without ever completing an order. It seems like the Wizard of Oz running the rigging and tipping the scale, we should probably talk about manipulation of the actual price action (not effects of it) as the biggest problem in stocks. If AMC cannot stop the hedgies, the stock market is doomed. Every ape is the last line of defense against predatory capitalism because they own most of the stock with AMC (unlike the crypto market). 

It is easy to be critical without having something comparable to contribute and be trolled about. The way that many people communicate is similar to how hedgies drain value. When we are energy (or emotion) vampires we may not be aware of the effect we are having on other, but the ‘vampire’ term is just metaphor because we cannot control how others react to us, or what they blame us for “doing to them”. In our culture it has been far too easy to criticize others and more specifically the work of others without either having the opportunity or desire to expose ourselves as publicly. Witch hunters can argue they do not want to be like the targets of persecution, but this issue of judgment runs as deep as the two sides of our brains. Perhaps if we can be more compassionate with eachother in daily communication, we will be less tolerant of it at the highest levels. Don’t short sell us Munchkins!

Gensler Head of SEC addressed Congress on these issues: 1. Corporate Gamification 2. Blockchain System 3. Short Selling 4. Concentration 5. Transparency

“I am not concerned with individual investors sharing their free speech rights online. I am more concerned with concentration of market power and bad actors. I have asked for more market transparency regarding short selling.” – SEC Chair Gensler

SEC SR-2021-38 (form 19b) “On May 7, 2021, the Commission suspended (a previous dark pool exchange) Filing and instituted proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or disapproved. Such action suspended the (Arca Inc. hedgie dark pool) Exchange’s ability to offer access and connectivity to Third Party System & Data Feeds from ICE Data Services – Morgan Stanley, TDA, ICE TMC, Members Exchange, MIAX etc.. (together, the “Suspended Services”).” 1.a. & 3.a. state that dark pool “Exchange” users want 14 days to get their frozen trades moved “before their connectivity is terminated.”

In the early 90s Susanne Trimbath was working for the DTCC. She became aware that short sells and stock lending increased the number of shares in circulation. This meant that during corporate elections share holders were voting using more shares than were legally available. Senior management at DTCC told her they would not do anything about it because they believed it was not their job “to balance the world”. Susanne remembered thinking “that was not a very good answer.” [from the documentary ‘Wall Street Conspiracy‘ which should be played in all AMC theaters starting now]
