When the stock market gets hacked

[superpatriotman]

Hacking will finally be taken seriously.

The only way to make money jump is to try and steal it.

1. Of course it would be the noble hacking that would get it taken seriously

The Dow needs to be disestablished, I wouldn't mourn if this is exactly what happened to it.

3. Why do you think the Dow needs to be disestablished? You might be right, but want to hear

your thinking.

6. You think it would be noble to screw with people's retirement funds?

8. Is that you Mr. Robot?

2. Great points on the huge markets

This very 'quiet' market, given tariff etc. news, is already somewhat suspect imo. Also trump has talked about the stock market a lot, which is a big,red flag in itself.

4. Back office markets are SO important!

Clearing, transfer agents, compliance, etc.

All prime targets for bad players.

5. You mean the existing manipulations are not enough?

Fast Frequency Trading is rampant. As is insider trading no doubt.

7. Watch what happens when those systems get hacked!

Lots of mob money in the markets. They don't like to be ripped off.

When the rich and ultra rich start losing, then things will get done.

9. Isn't that the reason behind western hegemony?

Britain in the Middle East in the early 1900s

America fighting against Cuba a few decades later

America fighting against Iraq a few decades after that.

10. My guess is the oligarchs have some of their money in it

so it's hack proof.
