we gonna have another march-style crash or is all the mass death and negative earnings priced in now?

this loving market, idk man

it'll be a rumbling first just like 2007 followed by a sudden seizure like in 2008. the rumblings were already beginning last year with the fed bailing out the overnight repo market but eventually you'll hear of banks having solvency issues due to the rotting mortgage and corporate debt markets. you may have a bank failure or two that's handled quickly but eventually the big one will hit and the system will seize

or maybe number will go up who knows don't listen to me i'm a dipshit

My guess is that beef is so expensive because a lot of it is being exported to countries that don't have the enormous swaths of pastureland that America has, whereas they might have the space for sufficient chicken and pig farms.

a "massive short position" opened shortly prior to this going out would be spotted by the SEC. bitcoin is less traceable (still traceable ofc) than that.

even if you did it smartly like opening a bunch of spreads or something like that it'd still get checked into.

of course the SEC has been basically vacated these days so who knows

i mean in any other circumstance i'd agree with you but tsla in particular probably buys you a good enough excuse for the courts

not to mention they'd have to single you out from everyone else who's been shorting

There is a reason that people don't hack things like these people in that they draw way too much attention when posting under elon musks tweets as elon musk are nearly as effective. Though maybe this is a signal posting under the tweets aren't good making enough money anymore.

Either way, the people who hack this poo poo is people who don't give a gently caress so they obviously aren't going to mastermind some ridiculous superman 1 mega brain hack, they just trying to grind gold for their bosses. I.e these are organized crime units grinding out a living, not some big plot.

As for blackmail that part has already been worked if these accounts are burned like this.

yeah a couple years back the SEC went after an Amazon employee who bought pre earning options and pocketed under $100k and I don't believe Amazon was the one who discovered it, but rather some algorithm. The only way to do this is through shady chinese companies or if you're connected to bigwigs at GS

There was a bunch of absolutely insane TSLA calls several years back in the leadup of Tencent disclosing that they had bought a large quantity of shares. Was done through a shady CCP connected broker lmao
