SOFI - prior articles praising growth in 2023

Greeting fellow Retail Investors,

It seems there are many articles including SOFI that is promoting growth.

This has not been the case if you observe the charts.

Are we being manipulated?

Once retails buys, then smart money are selling?

How low can all of the stocks reach?

Does any know how can we determine what percentage of investors are retail versus smart money?

Thank you.
