    Former SEC commissioner Rob Jackson joins Jon to unpack the Problem(s) with the Stock Market, including why your average investor is basically trading in the dark, and the blatant lobbying that keeps Wall Street from ever facing consequences when they cheat (which they do A LOT).
    Some terms in this episode you may not know but should know:
    Arbitrage: Exploiting a price difference of the same asset. It’s like buying avocados at the supermarket for $1 each and selling them at the hipster farmer’s market for double.
    Citadel, which is an investment company. Citadel is a market maker - meaning they help investors buy and sell securities, using the pool of shares they own. They’re basically a middle man, with access to highly important information.
    Dark pools are private exchanges for trading securities that are not accessible by the investing public.
    Options trading is buying and selling of options, which are essentially contracts that give you the right to buy or sell a stock at a certain price by a certain date. It’s basically betting on a stock price going up or down. So if you purchase an option, instead of buying a stock, it means that you are buying the option to buy a stock if it hits a certain price, and this can lead to issues because if your bet fails, you’ve lost all that you’ve invested. Whereas, if you bought actual stocks, regardless of the price, you still own that asset.
    Payment for Order Flow is when brokerages such as Robinhood route the buy and sell orders of retail investors to big market makers such as Citadel and Virtu instead of sending it directly to the stock market. This deal helps brokerages make hundreds of millions of dollars every year
    Retail investors are individual, non-professional investors who are buying assets with their own money.
    Securities: any tradable financial asset - stock share (equities), bonds, investment funds, pensions, etc.
    The Securities and Exchange Commission - or SEC - oversees securities exchanges, brokers, investment advisors, and mutual funds, to create fair dealings, the disclosure of important market information, and to prevent fraud
    Bildungsroman: Just kidding, but do you remember that from English class? You need to know it. Please google it.

      They call Bernie crazy but literally nothing he says is crazy at all. It just would make the top 10% slightly less incredibly rich and would give the lower percentages more money to buy stuff thus probably giving the top 10% even more money!

    As part of my job, I read a lot of internal emails from large corporations, including financial and banking institutions. The average American has no idea how ridiculously rigged the game is against him. Not just in the Stock Market, but in everything. It's not a Republican or Democrat problem either as many folks here in the comments make it out. If you blame one or another political party, then you are just playing their game. Big corporations donate to BOTH parties during elections to be sure that they are owed a favor no matter who wins. I still invest in the stock market when I can because, even though I know the game is rigged, it's still my one and perhaps only chance to try to secure any kind of security for my family's future.

    Thank you, Jon Stewart and Rob Jackson. This podcast was incredibly informative as well as downright depressing. It is clear to me now that: Wall Street and the US Congress are in cahoots and that political contributions from corporations must stop or be disclosed; US stock markets are rigged and intentionally shrouded in mystery to prevent transparency; and that retail investors (regular Americans) are being used and laughed at by market insiders who only want their "dumb money" to invest in dubious financial schemes. Oh, and shame on these so-called financial journalists who know what transpires behind the scenes but choose to play along in this unfair financial farce. Mr. Jackson, you said there were a few smart, crusading financial journalists who were doing good work. Please tell me who they are because I want to follow them and give my support. Many thanks.

      Purdue ended up having to pay $6 billion in that settlement, which ended up bankrupting the company. I think they should have also sent some people to jail, but that at least had the financial repercussions to deter similar acts in the future. So clearly the enforcement mechanisms understand the level of reprisal necessary to prevent future occurrences, which would imply they're choosing not to slap certain offenders wrists hard enough to be disciplinary by any means.

      And they wonder why they are having trouble finding workers. They are trying their hardest to pay their workers as little as possible to get as close as they can to slave labor. They are getting rich off of the work of people that cannot afford the cost of living. This little capitalism experiment has become so corrupted. If people really did the research of the rise of the cost of living, and the rise in the cost of goods over the last 4-5 decades, and how the pay rates have been stagnant, and have not risen in proportion. Then look up the salaries of the corporate executives, the bonuses, and the profits of their shareholders vs. how much the people that do the physical work that keeps these businesses functioning. Why would anyone want to work for these greedy corporations, or patronize them. The problem is, it is so widespread that we don’t have a choice. On top of that they spend their money on buying politicians to do their bidding instead of paying their fair share of taxes. Then they get to have more control of how the country is run, and it’s laws than we do, even though middle and lower income workers are the ones paying to keep it running. Explain to me why the IRS is willing to put more of an effort to take a couple thousand dollars from people living in poverty because they could not afford to pay their taxes, than they are to investigate and collect from the wealthy that can afford it, but are purposely defrauding the government to try to avoid paying. Wonder how much of the national debt we could eliminate if everyone paid their fair share. The wealthy should have to pay at least the same percentage of their salary as the average American that makes a living wage. And no, they should not get tax breaks because they create jobs. People doing those jobs cannot even afford rent, food, clothing, utilities, healthcare, and dental care. They have to prioritize whichever is most dire at that time as the bills rack up. Creating those jobs is not a favor, they are getting sickeningly wealthy from the labor of those employees. It is time to tax the rich, and give the average American the tax breaks, we are the ones who need them. The labor shortage is hilarious, and much needed. You don’t pay, we don’t work.

      On yahoo finance, youtube, reddit, a huge number of bot account is created to post obvious negative comments to scare people off.
      They disabled the buy button on popular trading apps and short the stock at the same time back in Jan 2021 illegally causing stock price to drop over 75% in just a few days.
      They direct retail orders to darkpool to prevent stock price going up when the momentum is about to swing in.
      Real shares are already long gone, so they naked short selling synthetic shares back and forth to bar code, Spoofing and ladder attack the price, when volume is low.

    I'm a federal employee. There has been an increase in corruption in the government for at least a decade. It's demoralizing and tragic. I've thought a long time on steps we need to take. 1. We need to get political appointees OUT of government operations. They just cause operations to get caught up in DC politics. Work is thrown out constantly just because it was the last guy's thing. 2. We need to fund modernization efforts to make us more effective. Update all of our systems. Start making a better data/ information sharing plan between federal agencies (and eventually state and local). 3. We need to enforce our own ethics standards. And 4. Develop a long term plan for how we continue to manage change and stay abreast with technology
    These are what I see as the first steps needed. But it has to start at the top or from a groundswell. Federal employees with ethics are often blocked, choose to step down, take demotions, or any number of repercussions. Whistleblower laws only work if you have a criminal level proof of intent. Otherwise it can get mitigated away. Corruption is subtle and sophisticated. We need a task force or a culture change.

      I’d vote for you because that sounds like a plan. Part of the problem is government hasn’t been working for people for so long that people have lost all faith and now there’s an entire party dedicated to neutering government. Even Nixon signed laws to make government work for people.
      But since probably the Carter era (I think the neo liberal thinking started with him) there’s been this view of markets as “complex problem solving machines” which they are not. So they goal is not to have government do the job but setup markets to do it.
      Obamacare is the crowning achievement of this ideology and frankly the exchanges don’t work properly. You know what parts of the bill do work? The expansion of Medicaid and consumer protections the bill also came with.
      So we’re stuck in this self fulfilling prophecy where government is the problem which makes government the problem.

      The only problem is that once the regular person finally 'understands' all the 'stuff' that is actually going on the only conclusion that they will inevitably come to is that America is badly, badly, badly broken and arguably unfixable; it certainly appears that the current 'nuclear meltdown' of America is unstoppable. The World can only hope that America does not take the rest of us with them when they finally 'implode'.

    Man, I've missed Jon so much. I love John Oliver, and last week tonight. This discussion in particular really illustrates why Jon is so special, to me at least. John, albeit enthralling to watch, entertaining and wildly intelligent still has to rely upon written jokes every so often be it five minutes or three or ten. Jon on the other hand, I can't believe I just watched two people discuss the stock exchange for over thirty minutes and was surprised it was already over. Jon does that. He's incredibly well read and his enthusiasm for understanding and finding a solution is clear to see regardless of topic he covers. Jon can just talk like a normal person, sans script, and is more entertaining and more importantly you learn more. LWT is great, I've just really missed Jon. I mean, Jon taught John after all.

      We may have more crashes, but the crashes will continue to get more severe to the point where we don't have any more crashes, because there is nothing to crash in the eyes of the power brokers. The rich will have successfully rigged the game so much, that crashes only affect the poor and not the rich, and therefore will not even come as a blip on the radar of the rich.
      And we are currently seeing such a crash right now, where only the lower classes are suffering, and those in power do little to nothing because they are beholden only to the rich.
      Even with the 2008 crash, the rich came out with more money and greater power consolidation that before. And none of them got charged with any crimes for tanking the global economy.

      The darkpool is a big problem, but trust me, you don't want it closed. When a major index or fund dumps their shares, it keeps the price from going into a free fall. The same way it keeps their gigantic buys from causing a massive upswing. It is necessary. However, it has been grossly abused, especially in the last year. What it appears to be, is that our (individual investors) small orders are getting lumped together into massive blocks, and then processed. Something needs to be put in place to stop our orders from being grouped together, and making sure they get processed on a lit exchange.

      I found the book from my childhood bank account, 1978, I was getting over 4%. Mine now is so small, I didn't even make a note of it.
      The only reason I'm in the stock market is my 401k...my company matches 5%, I do a little more than the match. My spouse is disabled so my budget to invest is limited.

      Well, for what is worth, most people who work in "finance" have no clear picture of what they do, nor historical perspective if you ask them, most of them only do that part of the chainlink they are supposed to do and go home, they got no idea how what they do affects people down the line or off that specific line of "finance".
      That is why most of them can honestly say it was not my fault, like god nazi soldiers most of them were just doing their job, obeying orders and THEY THEMSELVES didn't do it, after all they didn't design the system, and they need a job to feed their families etc etc.
      The top guys and gals are Maddof-type psychopaths, or at least sociopaths, they couldn't care less about how that affects others down the line, it is not in their immediacy anyhow.

    Excellent show, Jon .. Perfect metaphor about when you see a star it's like a time machine reflecting the past, just like the real-time NYSE ticker (for retail investors) on circus/comedy market sources like CNBC .. Market makers see order flow prior to the ticker and their high-speed computers figure out how to profitably match orders in seconds. Market makers themselves get to be referees & players at the same time.

    I love that Jon spends a lot of his show focusing on class and money, the things that transcend things like race and other cultural and social elements. Especially considering how most economic inequities affect those cultural and social elements since those inequities favour those who have historically dominated society. Venice's 1% is almost entirely descendants of its aristocracy of the past and focusing more on things like that allows for more unity to address those anti-meritocratic economic inequities first and then add a more intersectional lens to address how this affects unequal opportunities for people of a certain race or gender, etc.

    • @BlackScholar2040
      @BlackScholar2040 2 года назад +11

      Class transcends race? Capitalism and racism/White supremacy have always worked in tandem with each. In fact, co-opting poor Whites to help wealthy Whites oppress individuals is an integral component of US history.
      I think it would be wise to be more targeted in your proclamations about class > race given that this is not an accurate assessment for many locations that have been colonized by European descent individuals. For example, even when we examine the outcomes of the poor individuals in a country, you will always find that the folx who are most harmed are those who are perceived as not being White. That's why your argument that class > race does not hold water in these countries.

    • @XxSeedOfEvilxX

      @@BlackScholar2040 I meant that the topic transcends race. I know that capitalism is historically intertwined with racism and sexism and other ills of our modern societies and that is why I said you can use that lens after you've spoken to people's direct economic needs because when you lift the most economically downtrodden people in our societies you will mostly be helping people of color and as a consequence raise everyone's standards of living. You'll have a less divisive lens through which you unite everyone under the same umbrella and afterwards address the more specific ways in which capitalism has historically and currently affected people of color and how that can be amended. If you read my comment carefully you can tell this is what I meant.

      @@XxSeedOfEvilxX The issue is that people are being blasted with white supremacist propoganda since birth so when they realize a social program or addressing a class issue helps minorities, they hate it and don't want to do it. They believe it's an unfair advantage being given to non white people. You cannot effectively address class issues without talking about the other side of that problem, racism and marginalization.
      If you don't address those concerns in a transparent and up front manner you leave space for conspiracies to explain the class problems which will be quickly filled with historically fascist and racist notions that certain groups are exploiting white people.
      You must tackle the feeling of oppression that white people feel when we move towards a more equal society. You must provide a material and historical analysis that helps people understand how society became stratified by race and class. It's quite dangerous to begin by only addressing the class dynamics and waiting until a better time to talk about racism. A better time won't come, fascism will co-opt your narrative and lie to people, telling them they can solve the class dynamics by attacking a historically marginalized group. It will distort class divisions to be a result of degeneration and corruption by historically marginalized people.
