Marco, posts like that are hearsay. They stir up and exploit fears of so-called market maker shennigans, offshore, dark pool, naked shorting, etc..
You know that traders have a VESTED INTEREST in making up stuff like that to help further exploit boogyman conspiracies, don't you?.
They may or may not be true. Who knows? Not you or me. The person who wrote the story knows if they made it up or not. The fact that these kinds of posts/confessions seem to be very limited suggest they are made up nonsense, and require 'fear of retribution' kinds of conspiracy arguments to explain why they lack verification from the many that are able to verify them.
When you first arrived here you sounded articulate and knowledgeable.
Then a couple of weeks ago or so you praised X and Proto, two of the least genuine and most misleading and harmful posters on this board.
It raised eyebrows.
And then this last week you started a campaign to discredit me through employing a list of 'techniques' employed by bashers and desperately trying to get them to fit with comments I have made.
You have stepped over from what seemed to be a reasonable, balanced approach into the Koolaid-drinking, conspiracy loving nonsense that has happened to countless others here. Once they commit to this company, they put their hands over their ears, close their eyes and minds, and some of them become activists against perceived threats.
Congratulations Marco! You are now a full-fledge member of the Lightwavian Cult!
