>>Manipulated? Puhleeeze<< Oh common! I'm not saying that's totally the problem with COMS, but for heavens sake, there are a lot of smart people in Wall Street who can take advantage of lots of situations you and I can only hope we'd have the opportunity to do. Big Money has lots of power, and can feed on the weak and fearful. Just like I'm sure you know that Big Money can play on people's over inflated sense of confidence, and when they wake up the house of cards has fallen down on them. That's the kind of manipulation I'm talking about... it's subtle but it's always around to degrees. And I can't predict the price of a future date, so don't waste your time trying to make one of those asinine bets. I know my limits. BTW... pinning can and does happen during options week. Not all the time, and not that it can be predicted, but it's a part of the market. Englighten yourself on this...I'm just telling it for the sake of people here not being bowled over by your 1-sided look at the world.
