You want to see a funny manipulation? Look at AETH today-Merril proposed to downgrade but mistakenly upgraded so Im sure they were short the stock.They must have understood they made a mistake since they were losing thier arse,so what do they do?
They call thier buddies at cnbc and make everyone think that the reason AETH was going higher was because it had made a mistake, but in reality it was because of ibm takeover rumor.
The stock promptly sold off a 1$ allowing them to cover thier shorts but not at a profit then the stock promptly proceded to where it was at the start of the cnbc broadcast.
They probably are shorting again or they might buy and ride it up before they downgrade again?
Manipulation? Its just the way they make thier money.
Our job is to figure out what is worth buying and what is worth shorting.In the end the truth comes out no matter the manipulation!
