Volume in stock and oil futures surged minutes before Trump's market-turning post

Every time. The corruption is astounding.

I hope that in a future administration the SEC and CFTC get leaders with balls and gumption who root out this corruption. And if it’s members of Congress or the administration (very likely), then f*** them especially and throw the book at them.

With phone metadata and stock transaction details you can determine who is being tipped off. It's something to keep in mind when you try to corner the market.

Isn't market manipulation/insider trading a crime in USA? As in, decades in jail type of crime?

We need to urgently understand from Mike Johnson about how Congress isn't aware of this and doesn't give a damn so we can continue getting ripped off as usual.

It’s like in early January 2020 Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) (who’s husband was president of the NY Stock Exchange), David Purdue (R-GA), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Jim Inhofe (R-OK), and Richard Burr (R-NC) who was the Senate Intelligence Chairman purchased a number of stocks in health insurance, PPE manufacturers, and shorted a number of hotel, travel, and leisure related stocks These guys made millions and didn’t inform the American people about the dangers of the pandemic. Did anyone resign over this? No. Though Burr did not stand for reelection in 2022. Inhofe and Feinstein both died in their seats in 2024 allowing the Senate to be graced with the walking assault and battery charges waiting to happen and potential DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. Loeffler and Purdue’s corruption did give Georgia its first pair of Democratic Senators in a while though Did anyone go to prison over this? No. Merrick Garland and Joe Biden just kept plugging along It’s textbook insider trading while over a million Americans died. And we only know this thanks to the people at ProPublica (shoutout to their incredible independent journalism btw)

We're gonna have to spend years and billions of dollars proving and prosecuting all this insider trading and wrongdoing... The filthy rich are more of a drain on the system than welfare recipients, exhibit # 903,127.

Being an insider these days must feel incredible, free money non-stop

Is anyone really surprised anymore? Of course Trump is feeding inside information to this billionaire or that billionaire, in exchange for a healthy kickback.

Wonder which of the kids made bank on this? Baron? Uday and Qusay?

There are two explanations here. I think both are equally likely: Option 1: High frequency traders have written an advanced piece of software that can predict Trump's insane tweets. Somehow they have cracked the code. By studying wind patterns in Mar-A-Lago, the phases of the moon, the number of cheeseburgers ordered from a specific McDonald's by 4:17PM MST on the day before the second to final Monday of a month with 31 days, and the sewage pressure at the White House as reported by the local water department, they have developed a piece of software that using no non-public information that can predict with astounding accuracy what Trump will tweet 15 minutes before he thinks of it himself. or... Option 2: He told his buddies first that morning and they immediately leaked it to their friends who could trade on it in untraceable ways. I think Option 1 seems more realistic but what do you guys think?

I remember seeing an app that purported to follow Nancy Pelosi’s stock trades. I suppose the implication that she had insider knowledge that you could profit from. I really think that Trumps inner circle might be more accurate. There’s so many ways that you might profit, his TACO pronouncements are the least of them. Of course the key is finding out who’s in the know and most importantly who can be relied upon. An example is MTG once was a key barometer, now, not so much.

Seize the assets of anyone in this admin, or their orbit, who made money on this blatant market manipulation. Undermining the legitimacy of the U.S. economy for the financial benefit of 30 billionaires who don’t need more money… are you f****** kidding me? The US is economy is where my retirement is parked, my house, my kids future… The American people deserve a reward for enduring this GOP catastrophe. Seize the assets, divide it by ~330M, and write every American an anti-corruption check.

Could this actually break the markets? If the markets move on the whim of trump, will people stop playing?

What if, the government gave the proceeds of their insider trading back to the people!

Such blatant market manipulation and insider trading by these people- they all get richer, laughing all the way to their new yacht while the rest of us - fill in the blank.

Just another felony in the life of the Trump parasites

It’s all the money. Kash even said he gets to do what he always wanted to do thanks to Trump. Acts like a cowboy and uses the governments money to do what he wants.

And literally nothing will happen. Blatant and obvious market manipulation in broad daylight and everyone will go unpunished for it.

This administration will not stop exploiting the markets until he is dead or removed from office. It's their clear game plan to own and control as many corporations as they can via the market until the economy goes t*** up. They will then own control of not only the US but most of the world. They must be put to a stop at ALL costs.

So the USA is murdering thousands of people and f****** the global economy, yet again, just so a small handful of their oligarchs can enrich themselves?

I'm sure forensic experts can figure who's playing the market. Too bad the government doesn't care.

"They'll get it all from you sooner or later 'cause they own this f\*\*kin' place. It's a big club and you ain't in it. You and I are not in the big club. By the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table is tilted, folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. Good, honest, hard-working people: white collar, blue collar, it doesn't matter what color shirt you have on." - George Carlin

It’s all he’s done since he got in again, manipulating the stock market.

Oh it is so comforting to know that people with influence can still win in these tough times

these psychopaths are trying to make a buck from the blood of innocent people....absolutely sickest fucks

got an idea but ill get in trouble for saying it

At some point there has to be a recording of them blatingly glosting about this. They have been doing it over and over

That's because "Blue Horseshoe loves TACO" went out first

At this point, how do I get in on this action?

Guys maybe he is just yapping while he tweets, and everyone within range just starts frantically typing and trading

I’ll pretend to be a MAGA voter in response to this news “Nancy Pelosi !!!!!”

Just wait…when the threat of attack is back in play (checks calendar, Friday, after the markets close), it’ll set the stage for another wild weekend to juice the market again on Monday.

F*** everything about this timeline.

We will investigate ourselves and find no wrongdoing. Jesus Christ our country is so far gone.

Governments are telling citizens not to hoard fuel but this is panic buying on a major scale. EMFH.

"Whose fuckn up with the oil supply out there?!" - P.Diddy in his cell.

Hey, I have seen this before..dam reruns.

What no, that is totally not a constant of taco.
