Gameboy, You are paranoid but not stupid. The reality is that the institutions are sitting this round out and so what, they are not selling either. The daytrader is one more force in the market and they have a very healthy function. He is promoting his position. If you give him power then it is his to manipulate. More power to him. The reality is the down side on creaf at this point is minimal and the TA meisters are only right as their interpretation. This stock is oversold here and the MM,s know it. Upside is more impressive short term then downside. DrRisk IMHO

Also gameboy I had so much influence on TLAB that it finished back to 48, which is almost at where I shorted it....Learn a little about supply and demand before you make a stupid statement about manipulation gameboy!!

Gameboy, I think that manipulation of a stock such as CREAF by means of thread postings would be unlikely. Certainly not by a single person on a single board, anyway. IF a stock had enough public ownership, and IF the stock had a large percentage of shareholders online reading posts, and IF there were, say, a multi-pronged effort by multiple personalities (hmmmm :) ) and multiple venues (SI, Yahoo, Motley Fool, various private mailing lists, maybe a bit of spam tossed-in, maybe some cooperative brokers and MMs) MAYBE it could be done. I do have my suspicions that something unsavory is up with ABTX, because of something that I observed in the trading today. It certainly appears to me that the MMs invited the shorts in, as many times I saw the bid tick up (which would permit a short sale at the bid on NASDAQ) even though all of the trades had been at the bid.
