Someone Began Dumping Stock Before Trump Attacked Lockheed
- JohnStrange 10y agoPerhaps that was Trump himself? Wouldn't surprise me. This man doesn't give a fuck about anything.
- nappy-doo 10y agoA number of assumptions went into this: 1) As mentioned in the article, does Twitter publish the timestamp correctly? 2) Does Twitter delay their realtime feed API by 5 minutes, and have a higher priced tier available (that someone else frontran Trumps tweet on). 3) Are the published price/volume chart correct. I'm not saying something nefarious is going on, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

- evanpw 10y agoThere was one trade between 8:20 and 8:26, of 75 shares. This is fake news.
- blondie9x 10y agoHN has been flagging articles related to Trump lately. I'm sure this one will be flagged as well. Free speech should continue on this platform despite Thiel allegiance to president elect.
- ryanlol 10y agoPerhaps this one will be flagged because it's an outright lie?
- dang 10y agoThe article was correctly flagged because pure partisan politics is off-topic on HN. The site guidelines have made this clear for years: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Everyone means something different by "free speech", but articles such as the above aren't allowed because they would drown out everything else on HN and soon destroy it. Then there would be no speech.
- matt4077 10y agoI'm as Tump-hating as they come, but this seems fishy. Checking it at NASDAQ.com, the stock fell not at 8:2x, but at 9:30 – which also happens to be the time the market opens. And, seriously: if you want to turn a presidency into money, insider trading seems kinda lame... As in: the data is scrutinized not just by regulatory agencies, but an army of the smartest mathematicians money can buy. Not even Trump is that stupid.
