Quote from larrylivingston:
bone pretty much ends the discussion...figure out whether the market is for traders, speculators or investors...to talk about manipulation is to talk like a sucker...if the market seems to consistently be manipulated then u have found a trend and figure out how to profit from it...stop talking a sucker game...

Quote from Mishka:
Manipulation are banned by law.
For purpose in studying, understanding and correctly interpreting market action, we must consider any operation a "manufactured". Movement wherein the buying or the selling is sufficiently concerted and coming from interests better informed than the public as to produce the same effects as pure manipulation

Quote from illiquid:
So I guess shorts scrambling in pain and puking out their positions would fall under that category too? Is there a difference to you between manipulation and a strong trend or panic move?
