At least one of those stocks tends to have a comparatively thin order book.

Oh?

Google tells me:

    > Coined in 2023, the group consists of Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla.

Which one?

Tesla

except Tesla is not just car company but a taxi company and energy company and AI company and robotics company… 6-7 more decades and orders will be pouring in :)

Tesla is also Musk. The Tesla stock is currently tied closer to the shenanigans of it's CEO than it is to the fundamentals underlying the company.

Any stock with large retail options trading volume is ripe for shenanigans, and I can bet tsla is one of them.

> but I can't fully convince myself such a large stock can be manipulated like that.

I have the same initial reluctance to believe it that you do, but less so when I remind myself that we live in a world where the Social Security Administration sent out a mass email praising the passing of the "big beautiful bill".

I think our built-up understanding of how the US government functions at a baseline has not caught up to recent events. Especially in regards to how much regulatory bodies are doing their traditional jobs vs being forced to sit on their hands, or in some cases just not even existing anymore.

Someone gets it. If you keep cutting budget of people trying to make sure the rules are followed, what do you think is going to happen?

As someone living in a country with very weakened democracy, getting emails from the government was the point I realized things were really messed up. If this is now happening in the USA, well, good luck.

Thanks, we're gonna need it (the luck, that is).

We got email from a government agency that is weakened by the passage of a new law celebrating the passage of said law, so yeah that's not looking great.

It’s tough to wrap your head around such big stocks being manipulated. I found that using mailsAI to track trends helped me see patterns I wouldn’t have noticed otherwise. It made the whole situation feel a bit more clear and manageable.

Sorry for asking but curious, how did mails.AI help you track stock movements? Isn't it just an email marketing assistant service?

I believe you are responding to a scammer.

Of course large stocks can be manipulated like this. But there is also normal oscillation, repeatable human psychological behavior (e.g. momentum, mean reversion), and just crowd murmuration. Be careful using your eyes to gleam patterns from graphs; you may find if you try to monetize these they vanish before you.
