Jeff,

Bigger companies do it in more subtle ways. The most common method is to simply not release any good news in a timely manner, leading analysts and investors to speculate that something is amiss, and then market forces take over. This tactic is especially useful when the company is not actively engaged in acquisitions or negotiating private financing from a lender. Failing to deny rumors is a variant on this ploy, or denying them in a manner that sounds not entirely truthful.

Another tactic is to delay new projects or other tasks that would be viewed as positive by the market, until such times as it is financially feasible to do so. I'm not necessarily referring to the company's finances either.
