If you were to actually read the chapters, its pretty clearly stated there.

He said he wanted to get rich on the stock market. Wrote an affirmation. Had a dream to by Chrysler stock. Bought stock, stock went up. By his conclusion, he manifested stock going up (because of how thoughts and perception can influence reality and e.t.c)

I have long believed I control the stock market.

When I buy X, it is guaranteed that X will tank the next day. It usually takes about 2 months for the market to forget that I bought X, and X will return to normal.

When I sell X, it is guaranteed that I sold for the lowest price that day, and X will rise dramatically for the next 2 months.

This problem is why I rarely trade. I'll hold a stock for decades.
