This isn't as good an argument as it would seem for the illegal standpoint of manipulation. Only a very smart and clever person could illegally manipulate a stock using SI, but what smart and clever person would take the risk of investing in low float stocks or penny stocks, the only stocks that could be manipulated by SI?

Dan and Anyone, as much as I'd like to test your theory that I would be fined by the SEC if I succeeded in manipulated a stock, there would be no point. You would never be able to know because I would use a public computer which I do all the time any ways, and create a new free e-mail account, which would allow me to be totally anonymous.
Unbelievable that you really think that a clever person couldn't manipulate a stock and get away with it using SI as the medium; not that anything but low float and penny stocks could be manipulated using SI.

I actually might have accepted your challenge a few months ago because I was 17 years old. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't go after an adult on SI but I know they wouldn't go after a minor.
