The stock market is obviously rigged. Most of the trade volume daily is done by automated bots, the amount of manual input is actually minimum. I don't know if there is a way to certainly know what % exactly of manual input is going on vs automated orders but it would be on the bot's sides. Some don't consider this practice as "rigging" tho.

It depends on how long your investing for. If you're trying to day trade, it's rigged...you can't get a good price because the high frequency traders are beating you to it, you'll automatically lose as soon as you indicate what your purchase intent is.

Now, if you're investing for the long term the markets aren't rigged...buy and hold and you're good. Honest.

The trading it self can be rigged but when they get caught by manipulating the trades, they can go to jail for doing so. What I know is that other companies manipulate the price by making false announcements and press releases so stock price will soar if announcement or press release is positive.

Not as rigged as it used to be.  But this is a stupid poll and I'm not voting in it. OP, do you have an opinion on this yourself or do you really care what everyone thinks?

It depends how you define rigged.

Is rigged assuming there is a set of a few guys who are playing the entire stock market and they all win?

Or is rigged just manipulation by many big dogs, but they are not necessarily in cahoots with one another.

I do not think it is rigged as stock prices react to up to date news.
