totally agree on big houses and their awesome power to move stocks imagine you buy a stock... nobody cares, bid/ask rarely shifts imagine you and 50,000 of your closest friends buy one stock you must coordinate your purchases in piecemeal rotation fashion all by yourselves, you move the stock price you see this with newsletter authors recommendations of a smallcap the big houses move the stock because they can BECOME the market for that stock "the good old days" are gone though, where big houses would distribute their appreciated stock to retail accounts at high prices, then downgrade, watch them drop, blame it on the market, and finally buy them back from retail accounts after the poor retail shareholders sell while depressed at the low value the internet changed much of that deceptive cycle, not completely... internet brokers, internet information I like how you charge up this thread with experienced views, VoltageMan / jim willie
