Here is my outline of how these single digit daytrader stocks are driven up on high volume and quickly thereafter sold off and driven back down: Initation: 1)The company-initate attention to the company by issuing press releases which mention key phrases to attract attention of daytraders, i.e. linux. This usually occurs in the morning. 2) Then a tremendous amount of volume is introduced to the stock. The nature of this volume being very high, sometimes a million or more shares within in 10 minutes, and daytraders alone, in my opinion, cannont initiate such high volume at all once. I am very cynical about who this may be but suppose market makers atleast partially contribute to this. Market makers often add to volume and attract more daytraders by exchanging huge blocks amongst each other. However I think another undertermined force help fuel this which I will call xxxxx. So in short, xxxx + market makers attract daytraders by a collaberate effort in the manufacturing of an artifically high volume higher price stock. 4) Finally more and more daytraders are attracted by this huge volume+ keyword news and start piling up on an already artifically generated run up price. Often market makers+xxxx continue to artifically add volume to fuel the fire and attract greater amount of daytraders. Eventually a stock has been driven up anywhere between 50-1000 percent. 5) Finally daytraders realize that this can't last forever and stop buying it at high prices. 6) This is followed by a sharp price decline. And then another slower decline during which shares are slowly sold to suckers who think there might be another upward tide. This is my theory. I don't know if its right so please comment. I think it puts things in perspective and helps ignore people who try to hype up stocks. I don't know if its very clear. 1) daytraders 2) marketmakers 3) the companies Most of the stocks that are moving up and down on high volume are a combination of market makers, daytraders, and the companies who put out press releases which are signals for daytraders to buy the stock.....if your lucky you'll take ad
