Could be, but probably a variety of factors. Certainly the traders at Goldmann and others- the real pros, employ strategies to maximize their positions and objectives. For example, if the trader has a large position to sell, He's not going to plop it out there on Level II, he may actually begin buying the stock to throw off his competitors. This is commonly done and accepted. As far has conspriracy, I don't really buy that. It certainly feels like a conspriacy against you when you're on the wrong side! Probably the easiest way to make money in the market is to be able to recognize which side is calling the shots. Not easy to do. Many times there is a balance of power. We're sort of there now with the Nets, with the power still slightly in favor of the bears.
