I knew it was fake, there would have been a huge rise in the stock market. Financial markets would have sniffed this out. The market never lies. If anything, this was an obvious opportunity to short it on prediction markets.
The markets do predict things but they can't synthesise correct information out of nowhere. Wall Street stock brokers weren't exactly going to sit down and start trying to replicate these results to see if they could cash in on it
I suppose you weren't paying much attention in 2008.
Whilst this can sometimes be true, e.g. Disney stock decline tied to "go woke go broke", in general this is demonstrably, incredibly false.
The market is based on a mix of widely known facts, speculation, hopes, dreams, fraud, and a bunch of other weird goofy phenomena.
China shutting down, drowning in body bags, yet US markets don't flinch.
somewhere I read the a good addition to this:
"and those who do know history are doomed to watch it being repeated"
Same with this, until someone figures out how to make WIRES from LK-99-like-stuff that can be made into useful MAGNETS, it will stay flat.
Markets may be very smart... but they're hyyyyyper-conservative :P (an it makes sense to be so, there's the $$$ powering agriculture and healthcare and pensions floating on the seas of markets nowadays).
