In regard to this comment; "What this all goes to show is that the whole shebang has become so complicated no one really knows what is going on. Let’s get proper transparency and a standardised approach so people can see clearly whether naked short selling is a problem or an aid to market efficiency."
Nothing could be simpler than a master computer whose program is tied to float. Actual Supply in the market, is natural supply; dictated by the laws governing stock issuance.
Its the absence of Known supply data, interconnected sub systems enable the circumvention of owners, in establishing prices as artifacts.
We have No market prices, we have contrivances with broker dealer intermediaries, who may or may not ever locate anything....posturing as arbitrators to purpose outcomes on behalf of hierarchal systemic interests.
after 900 odd days of collecting information on an holistic basket of stocks, what I am telling you is true, and no amount of mouthpiece output or systemic masquerade can change these facts.
Every investor is subjected to the day in and day out of contrivance, the broker dealers make their money from loans or some notional variant of payment for largesse.
The broker dealers are not permitting stocks to function as if there were actual market prices, instead, every stock is subject to gross market contrivance where churn as a goal and the artifact of price are the prevailing metrics installed as routine to cap and control outcomes within ranges programmed by the system applied down to the portfolio level.
If one Stock moves out of a determined range, other stocks in the same portfolio will offset the gain of the one, by subtraction. Volume is applied as entries to an electronic ledger, and has little or no relation with volume of stock distributed as owned by investors. There is little to no feedback with respect to the natural constraints of supply. Those natural constraints were arbitrarily limited, by the superior rules of law, governing stock issuance, and its those laws who are circumvented as routine, by imposed externalities.
Traders submit air, price, inflates or deflates systemically within a contextual range for a given period. All governed by a realm sanctioned to provide plausible deny ability for those feeding on behalf of systemic hierarchal interests. |
