Re: MM manip of various stocks... MM manips these days generally require tight float stocks or large capitalized firms, or both. These days liquid stocks trading hi volume are really impossible for most MM's to manip. Jon Q public and ECN's grew bigger and stronger than MM's... Many of the manips I see are tight float with buying being directed to the MM who is running the manip so he does not have to carry the entire weight of what's thrown at him on the bid. There are many manip tricks by small firms. For example a guy wants to halt a drop in a fast market - he'll jump on the bid and refuse to answer the phone. The bid won't go away till he drops. Since he's not answering his phone he's not buying stock... If he's lucky, guys watching L2 see the bid stop dropping, so they jump ahead of him on the bid and buy... etc etc... Same trick in reverse works to slow a stock from running too high... There are a ton of MM tricks, you trade better if you know the tricks and read the game... Hope that helps at - least a little...
