I think if there was manipulation, and of course there was, that was the point of the special SEC rule against certain shorts, it was short term and merely at an opportune moment when an avalanche be started. The forced liquidations would do the rest to keep the ball rolling and change the underlying sentiment and behavior for many months. And, as it plays out, it likely will usher in something unexpected. This feels more like a legitimate pre-crash environment that anytime since September 1987 to me.
