Tony, I guess I'm really not sure how it helps me as an average investor to know that or to concentrate too much on it. I'm sure that you can know it and work it to your favor, but those of us who aren't such good traders can fall into a trap of blaming the 'manipulation'. Other than allocating properly and defending against it impacting my financial well being by using the diversified portfolio theory, I can only see downside to concentrating on it too much. Back to the example of those who blame a massive short conspiracy for knocking the price of their precious POS stocks down but refuse to sell when they 'see' it happening. Why in the world would anyone buy or hold a security if there is an active manipulation to suppress the price? Same thing works on the short side, why would someone short if there is an active manipulation to raise the price? Let's take KREM for an example. I can't 'know' that KREM was manipulated, but I knew at some point that KREM was going to keep rising. What real difference did it make to my decision to stay away does it make to blame the price rise on manipulation vs an momo indiuced bubble? Not only can I fall into the trap of not being responsible for my trades, I can end up bitter because I was manipulated. It really seems to me that the average trader like me needs to accept the market for what it is, not for what I want it to be.

Regards,

Barb
