That's not the whole story though. The real story is that Market Makers are taking our money without actually purchasing the stock. when we purchase small-cap struggling companies, they give us an IOU, and using that money to purchase securities THEY want to pump up. That is NAKED shorting; to buy something someone has to sell. Instead, They NAKED short stocks without locating stocks to sell. This has been going on forever - GME just exposed it in 2020/2021. I think that was a white-hat operation, by the way.

In doing so, they drive the price of the company lower and lower, driving it out of business.

You may think you're smart never holding 'sinking' stocks, but they drive, and have driven businesses to bankruptcy, creating a playing field that if you do invest in an 'unfortunate' company which is being naked shorted, you'll lose your investment eventually.

American companies that could have survived, done capital raises, and thrived, are now driven to failure, just so they can concentrate their ill gotten funds into big behemoths. Its a continuous cycle - and it causes total destruction of fair markets.

This is a full-on attack on the American market. Because no other country allows it. China infact kicked out Shit market makers like Citadel when they found out they were naked shorting companies.
