< MM's have this nasty habit of turning calls & puts into worthless paper when they have the opportunity to manipulate a stock price>

How can they manipulate the price down?

I thought the price naturally gravitated to the preponderance
of the call and put options due to those options being exercised
at strike prices where the highest volume of the expiring options are.

How would a MM go about doing a price manipulation?

Thanks,

>>In my view the only way it could do this is by announcing a major share buy-back and INTC & CPQ both reporting better than expected earnings<<

Major buy-back already in progress!
