Want to see how rigged the "system" has become? Gold is DOWN on this inflation news. Yet we all know it should be UP, and up by a lot, when inflation gets this hot. Why isn't it?

Bitcoin: same repression of price discovery
👆🏼they had people picked up trash & assisted the Capitol Police in de-escalating - but the Dems need a boogeyman.
Stanley Druckenmiller - arguably one of the best investors of all time - said that one can't know if they are a good investor unless they've survived a bear market.
Why? Because the current mechanics & regulations on the market ensure that it often acts in illogical & counterintuitive ways when liquidity is low.
Some people blame these illogical moves on the Dodd-Frank act, which changed risk management for institutions.
Market Makers - the people who move the market & old movies or pics will show on the NYSE floor screaming "buy" "sell" - must now remain delta neutral.
This means that when a lot of people buy put options or take short positions (like yesterday to prep and today's data showing the worst inflation data since the 70s), these MMs have to go long in some way to balance it out (often using futures, which is why futures drive the market).
Unfortunately there are many charlatans who don't understand this and will tell people that we're back in a bull market, when in reality it is merely these neutral hedging positions or some of the other mechanics of the current market working itself out.
You can often see this because as soon as these mechanical moves end, actual trading takes back over and price rapidly moves with sentiment.
But unfortunately a lot of people get hurt pretty bad in the interim by not understanding that "the market can remain illogical longer than you can remain solvent."
So if this is hurting a lot of retail (non-institutional investors) why doesn't the government do something about it?
The big guys have access to hedging vehicles that you do not, can execute most of their trades in ETH where you can't participate, and have tools that let them see things in the market that you cannot.
Citibank chose Obama's entire cabinet.
Wall St overwhelmingly funded Joe Biden's campaign.
They know that if they do get clapped, they can recoup their "investments" in the Joebama administration via a bailout.
But you cannot.
Maxine Waters is the person in charge of the CPB, which is supposed to protect retail investors.
What do you think the chances are that she will choose the public over those who funded the current admin?
