So I load up on some stocks, I have a massive cult following, let it be known I'm going to buy the company, stocks rise, I sell them for a profit then load up on some shorts and cite an impossible to prove reason why I could not go through with the purchase, stocks fall, I profit again.

Perfectly legal process only accessible to the very rich in which to further consolidate their position of being the very rich. Nobody else on this planet could pull this off as they dont have a cult following. Cult's dont have to be religious, unless money is a religion?

Is anyone surprised?
