The Wall Street Gang

Richard Ney’s The Wall Street Gang is one of the most important exposés ever written about the inner workings of the financial markets. Ney, a former actor turned successful market analyst, reveals how specialists, institutions, and market insiders shape prices, manipulate supply and demand, and influence investor psychology — often at the expense of the public.

This digital book is a powerful breakdown of the mechanisms behind market behavior. Ney explains how “the Gang” operates: specialists controlling order flow, orchestrating false moves, absorbing or releasing inventory, and using media narratives to influence investor sentiment. He shows how large players create traps, shakeouts, false breakouts, and trend manipulations designed to confuse and exploit retail traders.

Throughout the book, Ney uses real examples, historical market events, and detailed insider mechanics to reveal the gap between what the public believes about the stock market and how the market truly functions. His insights remain incredibly relevant today, in an era dominated by high-frequency trading, institutional order flow, and algorithmic liquidity manipulation.

This is not a trading strategy book — it is an awareness book that teaches readers how the market really works behind the scenes. Understanding these concepts allows traders and investors to operate with greater clarity, skepticism, and confidence in their decisions.
