Big Pharma and mainstream media are largely owned by two asset management firms: BlackRock and Vanguard. Drug companies are driving COVID-19 responses — all of which, so far, have endangered rather than optimized public health — and mainstream media have been willing accomplices in spreading their propaganda, a false official narrative that leads the public astray and fosters fear based on lies. Vanguard and BlackRock are the top two owners of Time Warner, Comcast, Disney and News Corp, four of the six media companies that control more than 90% of the U.S. media landscape. BlackRock and Vanguard form a secret monopoly that own just about everything else you can think of too. In all, they have ownership in 1,600 American firms, which in 2015 had combined revenues of $9.1 trillion. When you add in the third-largest global owner, State Street, their combined ownership encompasses nearly 90% of all S&P 500 firms. Vanguard is the largest shareholder of BlackRock. Vanguard itself, on the other hand, has a unique structure that makes its ownership more difficult to discern, but many of the oldest, richest families in the world can be linked to Vanguard funds.

These mega brokers help control (rig) the market with the help of hedge funds, market makers, and other participants.
Unless your shares are direct registered, you don’t own shit. The market makers and brokers can create shares out of thin air until the desired outcome has been achieved. That is, unless you direct register the entire float. Gonna get interesting when GME hits 100% ownership outside of the DTCC and people find out hedge funds are short a billion shares.
That’s not how Mutual Funds work.
Riddle yourself this: If you have 100,000 in any Vanguard Fund, and tomorrow that fund goes to zero, did you lose 100,000?
You should probably research the DTCC and how shorting ETFs is fucking everyone.
If the brokers are never actually buying your shares, what do you own? Fucking nothing. What happens when they close your position for “market stability?” You have no control and no ownership, regardless of what you may think. That’s just part of the lie that is our stock market. It’s always been rigged.
Your whole paragraph is so wrong from so many angles it’s hilarious. You’ve no idea what you are talking about. You need to start with basics and actually learn, because what you typed is just regurgitated bullshit you read on some thread.
Start with, for the fun if it, actually researching ETFs that Short various markets and how they work. For literally anyone, if you take the time to research what they are and how to use them they are a fantastic tool for both building wealth.
I guess we see how it all shakes out. I have my beliefs that our market is 100% rigged and these entities use various methods to accomplish the same goal: Drive businesses they don’t like out of business while falsely pumping their long positions.
After all the corruption we have seen uncovered it’s hilarious that you think mutual funds are great wealth builders. Yes, some people make money long term, but crashes, fees, manipulation, taxes, and the like make it a drop in the bucket compared to what the elite are making off of us.
