STOCK MARKET CONSPIRACY
Eric Martindale • March 16, 2020
DON’T BE PART OF THE BASE FOR THE BIG INVESTORS

Yes, you heard that right. A conservative blogger is going to unveil a conspiracy in the stock market. I’ve been dabbling in stocks for the past year or so, mostly losing money as I learn some painful lessons. The realization of how stockbrokers operate has hit me. Basically, it’s a conspiracy to benefit the wealthiest investors and the stock trading companies they work for. It works like this:
1. "They", the wealthiest investors, want a great many investors to be as broadly invested in individual stocks as possible, but not for the reason the stockbrokers say. It's not for you to be safe. You are actually LESS SAFE because you can't quickly and easily divest your holdings in a market downturn.
2. They WANT us to be non-liquid, not able to quickly divest all of our holdings when the market goes down.
3. They need enough people, meaning enough investors, broadly in the market through the peaks and valleys to create STABILITY in the market.
4. Without that stability the market would be much more volatile, peaking and crashing much harder. That would play havoc with the whole economy. And most importantly, that would make THEIR business plan difficult.
5. The real reason they want a stable base of investors out to create general market stability so they can invest in easy-to-liquidate Exchange Traded Funds (ETF's), ETF Shorts, and Futures/Options. They, the top of the top 1%, are doing exactly what they don't want the broad base of investors to be doing. They are quickly buying and selling positions, and often shorting the market as needed.
FOLKS, BREAK FREE OF YOUR OPPRESSION. Stop listening to the lies of your stockbrokers and other "market advisors".
You are actually safer and more broadly invested with a single good Exchange Traded Fund like the Russell 2000 (^RUT). The Russell 2000 is the top 2000 companies in America. Owning $100,000 in the Russell 2000 is way broader and safer than having $5,000 invested in 20 companies. 2000 is broader than 20, don’t you think? Even Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is smart enough to get that.
And if the market is going down, you can sell the Russell 2000 in a few clicks on your computer, and put your money into Short Russell 2000 (RWM).
RWM goes up if the Russell 2000 goes down. So, you make big money in a down market. There's a double-short Russell (TWM) and triple-short Russell (SRTY) as well. These are riskier of course. Russell 2000 is just one example. There are many other ETF's and other "shorts" as well. I haven't even researched 10% of them. I bet there’s one for each country, so if there’s a terrorist attack or big natural disaster somewhere, you can quickly invest in a triple-bear ETF for that country.
"They", the financial community and the big investors, specifically don't want you to be that liquid. And they want you to be completely in the dark on everything I'm posting here.
I am firing my stockbroker today, it’s nothing personal. I’m just emancipating myself out of their slavery. I already have a TD Ameritrade account, and I'm migrating it all over there. It’ll take a week. Meanwhile my holdings are in cash. I sold my stocks Friday afternoon.
In retrospect, it would have been best to sell my stocks earlier in the afternoon on Friday, and put all my holdings into a triple-leverage ETF on the Dow Jones or a key market segment, and then sell that position at exactly 3:59 PM. And then within that same minute to put all my holdings into SQQQ, a triple-short ETF. Stocks were soaring as President Trump was making a live address to calm investors, so a triple-bull ETF position was a sure thing for the critical 3:45 – 3:59:59 closing pattern. A sure thing is rare in the stock market.
THE BACK STORY
Now for the back story on how I came to this realization on the stock market conspiracy. On Friday the 13th, before the market opened, I drove down the Garden State Parkway in a pouring rain to Red Bank, New Jersey, to meet my stockbroker. I have previously only spoken with him by phone. He didn’t know I was coming.
My trust in his advice began to deteriorate a few weeks ago when I asked him to sell all my holdings and put it all into ProShares Short QQQ (PSQ), which is an Exchange Traded Fund that goes up when the stock market goes down. His initial reaction was “We don’t do this, I’ve never done this for a client”. He wants to be bullish and optimistic, no matter what is happening in the market. He went on: “The market is down 12% from its peak, and you think it’s going to go lower. Are you out of your mind”? Note, as of this writing, the market is now down 20%.
We’ve gone back and forth on strategies for two weeks. In retrospect, I had the right call almost every time, but most of the time he persuaded me to do something else. My portfolio is down 30% in 2 weeks. That’s my hard-earned money.
I had a pleasant meeting with my stockbroker. He’s a good guy, I like him. He gave me 10 minutes of critical time on the morning of one of the busiest trading days ever. I told him that I expect the Dow Jones to sink to 16,000 within weeks, and that I need to make some well-timed bear plays.
The key question I asked was “OK, the Dow Futures are really strong this morning, the market is going to rebound today, even if it’s just today. We both know that. Where’s the one place I can put my money now, so that I can recover some of the loss on the trades we did over the past week?”. Implicit in this question is that he would sell my two holdings, buy something else, and then sell that before the 4:00 PM close. Ugggh, his managers strongly don’t want him to do that.
His answer surprised me, but it should have been predictable: “I don’t know, just keep the stocks you have. Their fundamentals are strong, these companies will rebound in a big way, and you’ll be ahead. Just tough it out through this market turmoil”.
I own (owned) Akebia (AKBA) and Digital Turbine (APPS). These are both companies that I had picked after he presented several options.
The key problem is I don’t want to wait for these stocks to pop. I wanted to make money in the stock market that day, and then again the coming week with a short move on the market or a key market segment. And then at some point, within weeks, at the time I wanted to put my money back into Akebia and Digital Turbine, because I do believe they will bounce back strong.
Well, the answer he should have given me was “sure let’s sell your two stock holdings, and put your money into a bank stock”. By the end of the day, JP Morgan Chase was up 18.01%, and Bank of America was up 17.8%. A few days before we even had a discussion about Bank of America, and he brought it up as a possible purchase right before it tanked, of course. But that morning, he KNEW that the banking sector sunk unrealistically low due to the CoronaVirus news, and that it would rebound strong that day. He, or more likely his manager, didn’t want me moving my stocks around. I’ve been doing it a lot, and they are damn tired of it. He could have told me to put my money into Bank of America, or even better into the triple-leveraged Financial ETF (FINU). Oh no, I’m not supposed to know about those double and triple leveraged ETF’s.
Well, I’m getting smart about the whole industry, and I feel I’ve crossed the intellectual threshold needed to succeed as an investor. I’m not going to focus on Akebia or Digital Turbine or any other individual company, because that puts me at a competitive disadvantage. ETF’s are the way to go, and I don’t need to spend any time investigating the fundamentals of individual companies, or looking at charts and data sets that I don’t have access to.

We are upset that Donald Trump is positioning himself as the great defender of Israel. Trump has done nothing to try to win the Muslim vote, even though most Muslims are social conservatives. Meanwhile, the political support that many Muslims feel for the Democrats is unsustainable, as the core positions of the Left are hostile to our beliefs. Both problems are much more than frustrating. Muslims who are social conservatives must take a stand to state their beliefs. Those who agree with the following 25 conservative points are asked to click on the link below, print it, sign your name to this Declaration, and mail it to the Trump Campaign. Trump needs to be deluged with thousands of these. Each will be opened, because they think it’s a campaign donation. Trump and the Republican establishment need to hear it loud and clear that Muslims are the real conservatives, and that Jews are the Leftist and atheist enemy of the whole world.
