Does anyone know how to trade in this crony pump and dump system?

Or do you only win if you're in the club with them?

Fascist Tyrants agree that is how to make it impossible.
The first mode is the open hostility to verifiable reality, which takes the form of presenting inventions and lies as if they were facts. The president does this at a high rate and at a fast pace. One attempt during the 2016 campaign to track his utterances found that 78 percent of his factual claims were false. This proportion is so high that it makes the correct assertions seem like unintended oversights on the path toward total fiction. Demeaning the world as it is begins the creation of a fictional counterworld. The second mode is shamanistic incantation. As Klemperer noted, the fascist style depends upon "endless repetition," designed to make the fictional plausible and the criminal desirable. The systematic use of nicknames such as "Lyin' Ted" and "Crooked Hillary" displaced certain character traits that might more appropriately have been affixed to the president himself. Yet through blunt repetition over Twitter, our president managed the transformation of individuals into stereotypes that people then spoke aloud. At rallies, the repeated chants of "Build that wall" and "Lock her up" did not describe anything that the president had specific plans to do, but their very grandiosity established a connection between him and his audience. The next mode is magical thinking, or the open embrace of contradiction. The president's campaign involved the promises of cutting taxes for everyone, eliminating the national debt, and increasing spending on both social policy and national defense. These promises mutually contradict. It is as if a farmer said he were taking an egg from the henhouse, boiling it whole and serving it to his wife, and also poaching it and serving it to his children, and then returning it to the hen unbroken, and then watching as the chick hatches. Fascists despised the small truths of daily existence, loved slogans that resonated like a new religion, and preferred creative myths to history or journalism. They used new media, which at the time was radio, to create a drumbeat of propaganda that aroused feelings before people had time to ascertain facts. And now, as then, many people confused faith in a hugely flawed leader with the truth about the world we all share. Post-truth is pyg-fascism.

I find myself looking at this when I don't understand any market movements or people actively ignoring what else is happening.

Like, this recent Clark statement cut out of context from her interview, I try to find the full transcript of that interview, and you get pages and pages of right wing news sites labeling the interaction from that line and nothing else, and that narrative can propagate easier to the average person.

So 30% to first time buyers, 30% all cash sales to the rich, what is the other 30% going to?
Properties typically stayed on the market for 33 days last month, compared to 28 days a year ago. First-time buyers accounted for 30% of sales, up from 26% a year ago. Economists and realtors say a 40% share in this category is needed for a robust housing market. All-cash sales constituted 30% of transactions, unchanged from a year ago. Distressed sales, including foreclosures, made up 2% of transactions, holding steady from a year ago.

Literally happened before in the exact way your describing and not in the hypothetical you describe. On Tyranny
Such was the view of many reasonable people in 1933, just as it is the view of many reasonable people now. The mistake is to assume that rulers who came to power through institutions cannot change or destroy those very institutions—even when that is exactly what they have announced that they will do. Revolutionaries sometimes do intend to destroy institutions all at once. This was the approach of the Russian Bolsheviks. Sometimes institutions are deprived of vitality and function, turned into a simulacrum of what they once were, so that they gird the new order rather than resisting it. This is what the Nazis called Gleichschaltung.
