It seems manipulating stock prices up is allowed and even encouraged. But don't dare try and to use exactly the same manipulation methods to push stocks downwards.. you risk ending up in jail.
Also don’t scam old people and don’t mention GOD when you sell crap. I was always wandering why Karen the Super Trader was shut down (she wasn’t running that much money) until I listened to her interview where every second word was GOD.
So is this green light a one way street, only upward manipulation is OKed? Or can we get together and smack a stock? "But I also think we do police the markets for fraud, manipulation, for pump-and-dump schemes and the like.” [cough] cryptos[cough]
Yes, only upward manipulation is ok You can try to "smack" it, but good luck getting short shares and/or margin.
Ehhhh were you not paying attention? Kaplan and co all want the market to go up up up... Free money and all you know.
Yeah, but there are thousands money managers who may cut corners, why she attracted attention of the SEC?
