The stock markets are very well regulated. Allegations of corruption are an easy go to and corruption does exist but it is a pittance compared to technological, financial, and geopolitical forces.

The narrative of "telling others what to not post" is a bogus narrative. Post what you want, you will anyway. But I can and do cogently criticize glib and surface "explanations" that do not adequately explain anything. I rarely tell people not to post something: it takes outright fake news, AI slop, or conveying lies. When I am criticizing the lack of rigor in posts, there is an implicit wish that people think more about what they post, but I don't say don't post.

See my post #10 in this thread which I apologize that I did not immediately and instantly post due to its detail and thought and length. If you find facts and knowledge there that are glib and counter-factual, then reply to it.
