What happens when more than 95% of stock market trades happen through algo / quant?
Algo will use least amount of money to move stock prices up? 🤔
Is it possible to directly counter algo trades, by guessing their moves? 🤔

US fears Huawei.. :)
2 possibilities; Huawei devices have backdoors or not
Have backdoors: 2 possibilities; US found it (exposing Huawei, could expose US / backfire), or couldn't find it (maybe it's impossible to prove existence of a backdoor, or China has plausible deniability)
No backdoors: protectionism.. US just buying time for local companies to catch-up with Huawei

Dollex is $ denominated sensex
Sensex @ dollex start date, 3250 vs. sexsex now @ 40363. Grew 12.42x, last 19 years.
Dollex now @ 4612. Grew 46.12x.
INR inflated 65% against $, during this time.. so, USD investments grew 70.65x but INR investments only grew 12.42x.
