RE: stock vs option price manipulation

Easy, buy a barrel full of worthless out of the money call options.
Go into the market and buy the stock and push the price above
the option strike price.

Stock is higher, options have value, a double win (when it works).

Also, like I said, maybe I'm just paranoid; I mean going from 6 to 7 1/2 just to make money on 100 or 200 contracts is a bit of a leap.
Have a little pity, I'm running on 2 hours sleep,
and it's not the years... it's the mileage.

Good night, maybe I'll be more lucid tomorrow!
