If you think it's a problem, short NV or buy competitors who are not doing this or don't buy their share at all. If you're right, they'll get burned soon enough and it's none of your business!
To make money on financial markets it's not just about "if" but also "when" ... and even if I think it's problem (which I didn't say) i for sure don't know "when"!
Someone had a model combining shorting with investigative journalism, a while back. They'd short, then release evidence showing that the company was way overvalued, then make their money when the stock price dropped.
I was, but Wikipedia tells me it was preceded by Muddy Waters Research, and followed by Hunterbrook, both of which (unlike Hindenburg) are still active.
Interestingly, the Hunterbrook Wikipedia article says that Hunterbrook is unique, and the Muddy Waters Research Wikipedia article lists loads of other organisations. Perhaps someone should investigate…?
> If market followed rational logic, you could pre-calculate which stocks will be what price and never lose money.
The fundamentals are unpredictable, so even a perfectly rational planning (suppose such thing could exist) would lose money sometimes. Not in the long run, but long run doesn't matter if a single wrecked ship can wreck you.
You're just being pedantic. To a sufficient advanced being (eg God), the whole universe is rational/calculable/etc. Are you the type who says "you're wrong! It's 9:01" when someone says it's 9?
We bailed out the banks during the housing crisis and nobody went to jail. And look at where we are at now? In 20 years we are going to have smart cities run by tech barons where we are all serfs
Smart cities with tech barons won't ever happen for a lot of reasons, mainly because the government always wins. Tech bros don't have the political and military means to sovereignty . Dictatorship, civil war, corruption with a side dish of genocidal tendencies -- that's on the menu okay.
Besides, I don't think serfom has to do anything with it, as you have to keep people in, while the current agenda is all about keeping people out.
