I don’t know enough about the WhatsApp group people mentioned so I won’t pass judgement As for the stock market you’re right that in a smaller market $160 million can move a mid cap On the Nasdaq which is a very deep market $160 million might push a mid cap up over a few hours but without sustained inflows or a clear catalyst it’s hard to keep it rising and the give back risk is high So relying on brute force buying to deliver steady returns above 10% isn’t realistic Lasting meaningful rallies usually come from fundamentals or event catalysts working with capital not a one off cash splash And when momentum fades short sellers and arbitrageurs will sit on the move which only raises the risk for anyone chasing If what you’re claiming were true we wouldn’t be seeing so many posts from people saying they’ve made money Your take is far too one sided and ignores the market’s unfavourable realities I don’t know your real motive but I’m fairly sure you’re new to the game and trying to whip up panic to mislead people and grab attention
I’m just someone who browses the Money Discussion Forum. I’m not in the WhatsApp group people keep mentioning. I stumbled across this thread and some comments made me laugh so I read the lot. Here are a few objective personal thoughts.
I’ve noticed quite a few posts read as if they’ve been put through a translator. I reckon there’s a fair chance some people are posting because of competition between rival groups.
Everyone keeps saying they’ve made decent profits buying the stocks recommended by that WhatsApp group. My view is if those picks genuinely deliver a very high hit rate and solid returns on proper regulated platforms like eToro or Hargreaves Lansdown the people making the calls could just make money from their skill. So what would be the motive to scam? As for the ramping accusation that’s even funnier. Most here sound fairly new to markets and might not realise how much capital it takes to ramp a listed share. A handful of people on a thread aren’t going to move a stock’s trend.
I’ve also noticed that anyone who voices a different view gets slapped with the in on it label. I know the moment I post this I’ll be called the same. I couldn’t care less. If the aim is to police the thread by sticking labels on people and shutting down opinions then you really don’t understand us Brits.
