+Sup Apes,
+
+We need to be prepared now, more than ever, for blatant manipulation tactics. This will not be a smooth run to the top. It will be a battle. The good news is, we've got receipts, and we've got [their playbook](https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/mnjqpw/dont_forget_what_they_did_a_running_list_of_fud/).
+
+Below is a running list of all of the blatant examples of market manipulation. There is a bit of overlap here with FUD but my intent is to have a timeline of manipulation around key dates: The January squeeze, the February rally, March 19th Quadruple witching, March Earnings call, etc.
+
+I'm looking specifically for hard data or analysis of charts, and want to keep this as factual as possible. Please go ahead and add any examples I missed in the comments and I'll keep this updated.
