If you really think the market dropped 5% on a priced in job’s number then you’re probably the exit liquidity
Author argues the 5% market drop reflects institutional selling on job data, mocking retail DCA believers as exit liquidity for smart money.
- Institutions are actively selling positions based on macroeconomic data rather than holding through volatility.
- Retail investors relying on blind DCA strategies are likely providing liquidity for institutional exits.
- Market makers like Citadel leverage retail order flow data to trade against uninformed participants.
Just saying. Most of the posts that I see on here are DCA boomers convinced that only “institutions“ move the market and that it rallied off the bottom on 401(k) money lol. Just a reminder that if you can’t figure out what’s being sold then you’re probably the thing for sale. But sure, Citadel is building new skyscrapers with just brokerage fees and totally not doing anything with all that retail order flow data they’re buying. They just want it because they think it’s cool…
no low effort posts is the first rule here
Just making an effort to keep you from value investing your Robinhood nest egg into SpaceX friend…
No one asked and you certainly don't need to start a thread about it
Ah yes, bare innuendo and appeals to cynicism are definitely the hallmarks of a smarter mind looking out for lesser investors.
Number go up number go down.
And that’s where the real money is…
