I was reading the foreword to the Reminiscences book by PTJ. It turns out that he was highly influenced by Jesse Livermore. Anyways, he was asked if the kinds of fraud and manipulation that Livermore talks about still happen in the markets. He said, for the most parts no, because there are regulations to prevent people from doing that sort of thing. But at a larger scale, you see it done by the central banks and governments. So who knows, maybe they do have stoplosses <vbg> My sense is that Russia and China are working hard to unseat the USD as a reserve currency. Some time between 2030 - 2035, commerce will change forever. So maybe they are preparing for that. Or maybe they are just trying to put pressure on the US to ease up on its capital war and trade war. BTW, I heard today that BlueBay HF is planning to short the Japanese bonds until BoJ breaks !:-O It's been a long while since I've looked at BoJ operations, but if they are in that dire of a situation, they will sell every UST they have before capitulating. Interesting times!
