I would say that if there's a "way" for funds or institutions to manipulate share prices then there's no doubt it happens. Maybe not on a grand scale with everyone meeting in a smokey room but, for instance, it's easy for the "big houses" to get into the futures pits and in the low volume pre market "mark up" their inventory. An example was on 8-2 when some bulls were getting all lathered up and calling for a big explosion upwards while Naz was pushing 2100... That was the week when we had a few days where the market gapped up then sold off the rest of the day but the closing price was still positive. It looked bullish to J6P who came home and the Naz was "up again!"... but to others it looked like "distribution".
