Part 8/11:
The influence of organizations like BlackRock extends into the political realm, with recent revelations exposing their deep involvement in shaping policy. Thanks to leaked videos and investigative journalism, it has come to light that BlackRock insiders provide political figures with confidential stock trading information before public disclosures. This insider information allows politicians and connected elites to profit or make strategic investments ahead of market movements.
The implications are profound: such manipulation perpetuates a system where a privileged few gain unfair advantages, often at the expense of ordinary investors. Fortunately, alternative sources like SEC databases give everyday investors toolkits to track and mimic these insider moves legally.
