The years of 2019 and 2020 were years of fascinating drama for Tesla, hey trolls, media attacks, Tesla fanboys, fighting back and back and forth arguments with bulls and bears all of this. Chaos came with plenty of stock market manipulation. In this video we're gon na dig deep into the stock market. Manipulation of Tesla stock in 2007, Jim Cramer, exposed the stock market manipulation going on behind the scenes of hedge funds.

You know a lot of times when I was short at my hedge fund and I was positioned short meaning I needed it damn. I would create a level of activity beforehand that could drive the futures. It doesn't take much money. Similarly, if or if I were long - and I would want to make things a little bit rosy, I would go in and take a bunch of stocks and make sure that they are there higher.

You know maybe commit 5 million in capital. Do it and I could affect it, what you're seeing now is: maybe it probably is bigger market now? Maybe you need 10 million in capital and knock the stuff down, but it's a fun game and it's a lucrative game and you can move it up and then fade it. That's all often creates a very negative feel. So let's say you take a longer-term view.

Intraday and you say: listen, I'm going to boost the futures and then, when the real sellers come in real more who comes in they're, going to knock it down, that's going to create a negative x, negative view. That's a strategy very worth doing when you're VAT, when you're valuing on a day-to-day basis, and I would encourage anyone who's in the hedge fund game to do it, because it's legal right and it it is a very quick way to make money and very satisfying. I might also by the way, because the stock at 8485 a little bit of capital - you go buy some January and he puts that makes it look like there's going to be something going on. So maybe you you know, give Morgan in order to buy a thousand Jannetty puts.

Then you go position limit with you know you use a hat firm that doesn't know what that could still may be good at UBS for puts, and you just kind of created, an image that there's gon na be news next week and that's gon na fight in Everybody and you get they all go out and save larks put bar ups. Then they call Pazhani again. You have to use those guys and say, listen! I'm about you know. I see a big buyer puts and I'm told that it's like the it's si si.

You would do that too, and these are all of what's going on under the market that you don't see. Nobody else talked to blade, what's important when you're in that hedge fund mode is to not do anything remotely truthful, because the truth is so against your view. Right that it's important to create a new truth to develop a fiction and the fiction is developed by almost anybody who's down like 2 % top 6 %. Here you can't take any chances.

You can't have the market up any more than it is. If you're up six, because starting Jan 2 you'll have all your money come out sometime, what would you do if you're in that situation, and you feel like you're desperate - is that you would do these actions? It's definitely strange to see Kramer openly talk about manipulating stocks, but he did mention that he would not say on CNBC, oh by the way. No one else in the world would ever admit that. But I did care that's right and you can say that here in Cannes, I'm not gon na say on TV has low stock is well known for short sellers with many hedge funds, shorting the stock, including Jim Chanos, David Einhorn, Crispin, od, Daniel Peterson and plenty of Others, in fact, let's actually take a look at whether Tesla stock has had unusual, put option activity over the past few months.

On January 6, 2020 3,600, 19 contracts of past law put options were purchased with an expiry of January 10th and a strike price of 435. These options were worth over 2.2 million dollars, which is definitely a lot for an option expiring four days in Kramer's interview. He also explains how the for a hedge fund managers payday it's vital to keep a stock down if you're shorting it. So it's really vital these next six days because of your pay day.

You've really got to control the market. You can't let it enlist when you get a research in motion. It's really important to use a lot of your firepower to knock that down, because it's the fulcrum of the market today now guess when David Einhorn, hedge fund greenlight capital sentence q4 letter January 21st, 20 2015 days after the puts were bought, Einhorn and many other hedge Fund managers quarterly paid - it must have only been a few days before this letter was sent. While this fury remains by YouTube, it could be possible that a hedge fund manager, like Einhorn, was attempting to drive the price of Tesla stock down.

Another common move our sellers often do is to foment Jim Cramer. Explain how, although this is illegal people still do it anyways, because the SEC doesn't understand it. Now you can't ferment, that's a violation of for men. Yeah, you can't foment.

You can't create a yourself, an impression that a stock's damn, but you do it anyway, because the SEC doesn't understand it so yeah I mean it's, that's the only sense that I would say: there's a legal but a hedge fund. That's not up a lot really has to do a lot now to save itself, so this is different from what I was talking about the beginning, where I would be buying the cues and stuff. This is actually just a lately illegal, but when you have six days and your company may be in doubt because you're down, I think it's really important to ferment. If I were one of these guys for men and oppression, the research and motion isn't any good, but this research emotion is the key today.

So you know you would you would hit this guy and that guy, when you would see an offering, when you see a guy who's bidding you'd, wipe that that guy very quickly and the what I used to do um was called. If I wanted to go higher. I would take him bid taking bid taking bid and if I wanted, to go or I'd hit, an offer hit an offer hit an offer and I could get a stock like rim, for maybe that might cost me 15 20 million a knee to knock rim down. But it would be fabulous because it would beleaguer all the more on Long's who also came on research, emotion again, when your company's in a survival mode.

It's really important to defeat research, emotion and get the Pazhani to the world people talking about it as if there's something wrong with rim, then you would call the Journal and you get the bozo reporter and research in motion, and you would feed that. There's a palms got a killer, it's gon na give away. These are all the things you must do on a day like today and if you're not doing it, maybe you shouldn't be in the game. Essentially you.

What Jim Cramer is saying is that if you want to stop like rim down, we almost example Kramer gave, then you would constantly short stock over and over again in order to foment it. In other words, make it seem like the stock is going down. The next step, Jim Cramer says, is the call Wall Street Journal in the poseur reporter to report on the sell-off, which then caused more investors to sell, leading to a massive drop in price. The description Kramer is giving sounds extremely similar to what is happening with Tesla.

Many of the hedge to installing Tesla were ready Paulie before they started the short Tesla. Even I hunts funny like capital used to be worth over seven billion dollars in 2014. Now, in 2020, his funds are only worth 1.3 billion dollars, which is driven by both poor performance and investor withdrawals, because these hedge funds are down by such a large amount. It's important for the hedge fund manager to do anything they can to survive, including illegal actions.

Like fomenting, however, in order to understand, what's really going on, we need to analyze what may be going on with the media. A report written by Harvard researchers in 2019 states hat in recent years. Anonymous online hitting pieces against public companies have become an increasingly common and are also an effective form of short activism, giving their success in driving down stock prices. Anonymous online short campaigns are likely here to stay.

The report continues to say that short seller activism is generally associated with prominent hedge funds and celebrity activists such as David Einhorn and Bill Ackman. These short sellers often launched short attacks, capitalizing on the notoriety and name recognition. The fact that this report, which isn't related to Tesla stock, sounds extremely similar to the situation with Tesla stock right now raises some suspicions. The report also said that in recent years, however, a new PDF short activism has emerged individuals who anonymously post negative research reports and articles about targeted public companies on widely followed online financial and research platforms such as seeking alpha.

According to activists inside activist short, sellers are more often than not anonymous entities and funds, as I'm sure many of you guys know seeking alpha is extremely negative when it comes to Tesla most, if not all the articles in seeking alpha bash Tesla as a stock. According to the Harvard research report, many of these article writers are disguised as hedge fund managers, which they start not until recently, the market dismissed anonymous, chore activists as illegitimate and not credible as real short sellers with legitimate claims do not hide behind fake pseudonyms and aliases Premise has been proven wrong. Anonymous short sellers can be and often are disguised prominent hedge funds and individuals, for example, in December 2015, for short seller using the pseudonym investors for truth, published an anonymous report of a united development funding, Ivy ticker symbol, UDF on the investing websites, harvest exchange and value Investors, club causing UDF stock price to plummet, 35 percent after much speculation, cow bass, founder of Heyman capital manager, eventually claimed responsibility for the articles posted under the pseudonym investors. For truth, the possibility that some prominent US law short sells are manipulating.

The media doesn't seem too far from reality earlier in this video we analyze how hedge fund managers often spread fake news in the media in order to drive a stock in their favorable direction. As Jim Cramer said, then you would call the journal and you get the bonus or reporter. The Harvard research report also talks about how and an enemy is extremely important for the hedge funds. Reputation stating that such prominent short activists have incentive to post under pseudonyms in order to protect against litigation reputational risk in the event of public or company backlash in to protect their bets against premature public exposure.

Hustler short seller tactics have clearly been working, as demonstrated when the stock meant to ridiculous valuations in mid 2019, with the stock going as low as the 170s. The negative articles work the shorting campaigns work, but the SEC has yet to do anything about it. If you enjoyed this video, please share with others or like and subscribe, so together we can bring more attention to this everlasting manipulation. I'll leave a link in the description, the contact SEC.

Maybe together we can bring legal attention to this issue.
