OK, let’s get something straight here. I traded stocks heavily from 1998–2004, every day, 12–14hours per day. I had exactly 90 bookmarked information sites…VectorVest, Motley Fool, all sorts of trader’s sites chat rooms, etc. I was totally plugged in, and did quite well for a long time. The key was to realize that the whole Stock Market—just ask Mr. Grasso, The Carlisle Group, and the numerous other insider FatCats that control and manipulate the entire thing. It is simply a manipulation, another way for them to make money. Period. It is based on PT Barnum’s adage: “Never give a sucker an even break”
The name of my game was to gather information…advanced information, as quickly as possible, to find out what these FatCats were going to do next, how they were going to screw people this time, and shake a few peaches from their trees. My username on most of these sites was Remora…I had accounts with several brokers, all well-known names, all slimy crooks too, most of whose brokers job is to screw widows out of their pensions. Remora is the little “pilot fish” who hangs onto the shark, then jumps off and eats the scraps of the sharks’ victim/meal, then hops back on the shark and rides him. Hence, my game was to let the big dogs eat, and pick up a few of their scraps. The key, again, was to gain knowledge in ADVANCE, like they do, a la Martha Stewart, the poor dear, whom they used as a scapegoat, her being one/tenmillionth of the amount of insider trading that goes on daily.
I recall there was a term, I believe it was “The Keirnan effect”...thank goodness I’ve forgotten his name…he was one of the “talent” announcer guys on CNBC. Even this bunch of crooks make a nice living at it…what the term means is that these “announcer/talent folks know in advance which stocks they are going to tout, feature, and otherwise bring to the attention of the suckers who watch them. So, they simply call their brother-in-law, or some other person they can trust enough to engage in this criminal act with, and tell them to buy the stock in advance…another from of “Insider Trading,” which is just one of the many slimewad things they do.
Consider this: The Stock Market is a closed, “hydrolic” system. When you lose money, they don’t say, ‘OK, let’s take Joe’s money outside and burn it,” see? Every penny you lose, someone else in the system GAINS. See? Your pile goes down, their pile goes up. Get it now?
Now, don’t bother to come at me with any sour grapes thing…I did quite well as a swing trader during those years, relying on the simple fact that the whole thing is in fact, “Rigged,” as someone said earlier. You see, the real difference between Casinos and the Stock Market is Casinos are actually monitored, carefully regulated, by State and Federal watchdogs; then there’s the individual casinos carefully watching for cheaters, “rigging,” etc, and severe consequences for those who are caught, But in the Stock market, the “Foxes are Watching the Henhouse”...the same folks who are supposedly monitoring it, doling out punishment, are, in most cases, making crooked money off it themselves! YOUR money! LOL Anyone here who even tries to suggest that there is a shred of legitimacy to the Stock Market is either very naive or some kind of hustler himself, who will profit from it in some way. Period. Don’t make me laugh.
Gee, I’m glad I found a place to vent…I just love these rants. So liberating! By the way, if the Morgan Stanley Broker who screwed my 93-year-old mother out of 70% of all she owns is reading this, remember, “As a man soweth, so shall he reap.”
