- A large, suspiciously timed purchase of S&P 500 futures and sale of oil futures occurred just before Trump's announcement, raising concerns about potential insider trading. The author highlights the magnitude of the trades and alleges that an SEC investigation was blocked, leading to a resignation. This erodes market trust and warrants further investigation, potentially leading to increased market volatility and decreased investor confidence if proven true.
I don’t usually post stuff like this, but this honestly doesn’t sit right with me.
Yesterday 15 minutes before Trump’s announcement, someone bought about $1.5 BILLION worth of S&P futures in one go. At the same time, nearly $200 million in oil futures got dumped. These weren’t normal trades either they were something like 6x bigger than anything else at market close.
That timing is just way too perfect to ignore. Moves that big, right before market-moving news? It really makes you wonder who knew what beforehand.
If this is what it looks like, we’re talking about people making insane money off information regular investors don’t have access to. Not small gains like potentially billions.
What’s even worse is I’ve seen claims that an SEC enforcement officer tried to look into it but got blocked and ended up resigning. If that’s actually true, that’s seriously messed up.
I’m not saying I know exactly what happened but this feels off. At the very least, it deserves a proper investigation, because stuff like this just destroys any trust in the market.
Curious what you guys think.
