NASD Fines Morgan Stanley For Stock-Price Manipulation

interactive.wsj.com

NASD found that Morgan Stanley's OTC desk fraudulently raised the prices it quoted on these nine securities, artificially moving the market for each security, and the opening print price in that security, higher. The firm raised its bids without purchasing any stock prior to the opening.

The manipulation caused locked and crossed markets to occur in the nine stocks, violating NASD rules requiring firms to make reasonable attempts to trade prior to locking or crossing the markets during normal business hours.

A locked market occurs when the inside bid price equals the inside sell price of a security, and a crossed market occurs when the inside bid price is greater than the inside sell price of a security
