Some times when the market is expected to move in certain direction but we see the counter trend then it is market manipulation happening.
Nobody and nothing can ever manipulate the market. People, corporations and central banks can either buy, sell or sit tight. From time to time they can publicise their views and/or intentions. That's it. See? No manipulation.
Yes, it is manipulated by large investment banks and Fed(of course, Fed is the largerst manipulator who lies to everyone that US stock market is a free market. No market on earth is free.) Glad you know it, period
Whether the mkt/ price is manipulated or not - matters not one iota It's all baked in to the PA Trade the damn thing and move on jmo & fact RN
Exactly. Any "manipulator", no matter how big or small, is just a buyer or seller (or neither). I frankly don't see anything other than a cyclical rally from the March 2009 lows. Same as it ever was.
Confirmation of manipulation http://www.reuters.com/article/2013...0130828?feedType=RSS&feedName=GCA-Economy2010 and only $80M penalty
Can't tell if you're joking, but that fine is for misleading advertising over a retail ID theft credit product that was likely outsourced to some shady third party administrator. No trading involved.
There's always manipulation, always has been and always will be. That's why there are no traders with perfect equity curves, the "black hand" ruins perfection. There's breakage in every industry, why would the financial system be any different?
