“FLASH CRASHES” and the United States Stock Market:
The term "Flash Crash" gained Genuine United States Popularity “unanimously” quite recently. A Economic “Flash Crash’ is a sudden flood of “electronic” “or human “pre-configured-sell-orders” that are issued “all of a sudden” because they are all “setup ahead of time”. Everyone wants to sell...
So, a Flash Crash is a very rapid, deep, and volatile fall in security prices occurring within an extremely short time period. Some recent examples of a “Flash Crash” in the U.S. are on Wednesday March 18, 2015 when the US Dollar and entire US Economy fell more than 3% in under four minutes, or on August 24 of the same year when the S&P 500 opened and within minutes fell and lost 5% of Stocks in the S&P 500 that makes up about 75% of the total U.S. equity market loosing serious value in just a few minutes. There was also the fairly recent sudden drop by nearly 10% in just fifteen minutes (May 6, 2010). And lets all truly honestly forget about the recent 2020 sudden crash when the Dow Jones fell (2,000+ points) on fears of the global virus loosing trillions and trillions of dollars locally or about 30% of global stock market value in a few short weeks not just in the United States but in every country on Earth?
The problem with modern “Flash Crashes” is actually mysterious. Both computers and humans are causing them. We know computers must be causing them because nearly 70%+ of all “real” traders are “high frequency mathemagical algorithms”. We are seeing some very very fast ups and even more sudden touch downs lows. Today the Stock Market and Capitalism maybe entirely unjustified. For example how can a companies value double or get to be 600% more valuables in a few minutes and “computer algorithms” agree with this idea? Its not just human fault. Its a modern “circuit breaker?” All of this suggests that more then 70% of all trading is mathematical algorithms speculation?
Today “Flash Crash” are “frequent”.
The problem is that just about everyone believes a very very serious crash will happen. Very very soon. Another day passes without a “Flash Crash”? Just sudden “redundant ups”?
And yet everyone knows that we are about to get a “historic stimulus package” and begin printing money (globally) like the “Guinness Book of World Records” has never seen?
What I’m very personally (very interested) in was the “crash before the crash”. What I’m talking about is the crash of 2015 before the 2020 crash.
The key detail in our 2020 Crash was that it was “flash food crash” in Wuhan?! While I’m personally a vegetarian. In Asia there is a “stock” and real demand to “eat” exotic animals. The Wuhan “Huanan” market was a “Seafood Wholesale Market” not just “any animal market”. The Wuhan Seafood Market was wildly known to sell “live stock” and animal and not just “bats” “beavers” (pet dogs and cats as food?) or snakes or wolf puppies, turtles for food?, rats, frogs, and salamanders but also Wuhan was a “live stock” seafood marketplace? The “economic wolves” of China have banned live animal sales in Wuhan, after our deadly “food stock” virus.
