Subject: #1 Day Traders Site - The Final Frontier To: xstuckey (1901 ) From: Christopher Smith Monday, Dec 15 1997 8:23PM EST Reply # of 1912 As a general rule, manipulation in the way you mean it does not occur with stocks like MSFT and INTC, even during options expiration. The market is far too liquid (and far too closely watched) for any one MM or other entity to "manipulate" the market. Will a MM be in close touch with his options desk during an expiration--of course. But this is not something that you as a trader would need to be concerned with.
