it is a article obviousely by a pollitican or a high freq co –as it does not tell the whole story
hft companies can see all the data inc where your stops are and can run your stops easy and on the indexes
they can also withdraw sell orders to push the market up or can manipulate it in any which way they want as they see all orders

therfore become a daytrader and follow the hft with live indicators
