Ferromagnetic half levitation of LK-99-like synthetic samples

You're saying that, if this had been real, the stock market would have known about it before the scientific community? How exactly?

The markets do predict things but they can't synthesise correct information out of nowhere. Wall Street stock brokers weren't exactly going to sit down and start trying to replicate these results to see if they could cash in on it

Contrary to bored laymen on the internet willing to believe anything for escapism, the stock market usually reflect the outside view base probabilities (~0% in the case of LK-99 being real)

I would rather go with the large number of research groups who have scrambled to try to reproduce the results. They clearly did not estimate the probability to be 0. I don't see how any (correct, informed) predictions from the market could come about before experimental verification.
