As much as I love the manosphere, unless the person is in the know (direct connect to multi-billion dollar funds). Discussions are entirely wasteful.
Someone with real power can wipe you out in seconds.
Example: Dell.
Goldman Sachs equity research team upgraded the stock in December on "possible LBO" from a SELL rating. Had a sell for over.. Two years.

Goldman Sachs has a person on the board of directors at Dell (the ex head of... Equity research)

The GS analyst only had buy ratings on growth momentum names, ug's on valuation for an LBO which is the 11th largest of all time. Guess who growth names are catered to? You guys aren't dumb.
Take a look at the press release.. Go on linked in.
"Press" grabs a lead which hints at a takeout
Hits tape, algo's (auto set up desk) floods the stock to a 13 handle ("fishy" that all other "possible" M&A leaks only trade up 3-4%...)
Algo's rip you apart through the next 65 cents to 13.65 take out price
This is all public info but people still try to trade in and out of major liquid assets to make a profit because people have an irrational belief they are "smart". They can't seem to connect the dots. This includes things like silver and gold as well.
So for this thread, does anyone run a commodities fund with 2B+? Highly doubt it, but that's the only guy to talk to about this.
