Dear author of "Dangling Participles," you have an ambiguous pronoun. To what is the "it" referring? I want to understand what you are saying.

It is the deliberate front running of market calls right before making a news announcement. In some cases, those options went up 33X in just a few hours. E.g., a $1000 trade nets you $33K.

Got it. That's what I thought you were referring to.

I think "Dangling Participles" is echoing Will Saletan's title, "It's the Stupid, Stupid." Perhaps what he needs (for parallelism) is the article "the" to make the echo clearer: It's also the MASSIVE manipulation.

I know! How popular is Trump when the statement is made "Trump and his cronies are getting rich-at your expense!". This should be hammered over and over again.
