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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

Every market is rigged to some degree or other. The amount of rigging and its effects on the small trader depend on the particular market (gold is very rigged), HFT (mentioned up-thread), whatever any manipulators think they can get away with (legal or not), etc., etc. There are so many scams in the financial markets, so many ways the Insiders milk the rest of us...
I suspect that there is rigging in BTC markets as well, though I have no evidence to offer.
One way to deal with it is to not play their game.
Buy and hold gold, don't trade it.
Buy and HODL BTC, don't trade it.
Buy and hold quality stocks (companies with low debt for example), don't trade them.
Rookies who trade will get scalped.

Obviously it is rigged. Big put options on defense stocks and certain airlines were executed the week leading up to 9/11. I'm talking about a billion or more in trades.

Its been rigged for the longest lol.
But you gotta see it as a same level of playing field in the sense of your approach, just study what the "enron" documentary did.
They made up their own rules, then went public - they always positioned themself to win, regardless if they cheated out so many people. Thats the core with every person like those pennystocks doing pump and dump.

these auctions it is hard to call a market, but having the same principles and tools, but having very little at the moment, legal material, professional start trading, what is to happen in semi-automatic mode and hard called trading on the exchange and having circulation in the world, when fitting pictures anyway, all eyes turn here and that there is little that resembles what used to people who speak about direct exchange activity, although the beginnings of the industry are traced, although

There is no good investment for the banks, so they have to hoard the money. If they invest, they will make a loss.

stock market now is more automated or done by bots but that can't be referred as rigged. Better to say its automated.

The wealthy can manipulate the market. Also I have heard that stock trading companies are pressured to advise their clients in certain way to benefit certain companies rather than to benefit the client or more likely advise clients to make trades just to increase the fees for the stock company. These are ways the market is rigged against us little guys.

every market where people can make millions/billions is rigged. the stock market is definitely not an exception. the elite is always 5 steps ahead of the rest. without a doubt there is also a lot insider trading. that's how you can make billions of profit per year. we as normal traders only play with crumbs.
