Another grotesque stock market manipulation today [View all]
At 3:30pm EST, right before market close, all the major indices crashed hard on news from Iran.
Immediately after market close at 4pm, when markets are closed to retail traders, the massive dip was bought back by after market buyers. All of it, within about 3 mins. I'm wondering if Iran may now be involved in the manipulation.
Billions were made again in minutes. High stakes poker is being played with every retirement fund, commercial investment accounts, bonds, etc.
I've never seen anything like it.
