Re: Market Manipulation Possible?
Congrats on gaining on that pop.
I think the better play (one which *I* failed to jump on, sadly for me) was realizing the market would drop huge soon after, which it has. I mean, seriously, anyone who swing trades stocks will tell you that as soon as you can't trust the company's financial reports, the stock is junk (and it will pay to short it), which is analgous to the stupid "revisions" the government keeps pumping out.

Re: Market Manipulation Possible?
Market manuipulation - Yes it exists. Do a search on Working Group on Financial Markets or Plunge Protection Team. 'President's Working Group on Financial Markets in the United States. It includes the Secretary of the Treasury, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.'
The stock market is inherintly bullish. Anytime a sharp move down occurrs on negative news - ie London bombings, Hurricane Katrina, 9-11, the markets recover. Markets need a push due to upcoming election fears - call on the Fed to print money and the PPT will get into action. Last edited by willd; 12-28-2006 at 11:43 PM. Reason: improve wording |

Re: Market Manipulation Possible?
Since I trade only on a daily basis and am flat after market hours I tend to think of manipulation in the very short time frame. I am convinced that the black box traders have ways to jam the market at points of support and resistance that happen so fast that the rest of us mouse clickers are vulnerable to it. If your software will make charts in one second or one tick intervals, compare the bars to the time and sales when the YM has been swept and see if you don't notice some patterns. Those guys know where stops are likely to be and can probe the market and offset their trades in milliseconds. If they can cascade some stops it is free money, if it doesn't work, what the heck they are in and out without much risk. Is it manipulation? I guess it depends how you look at it.

Re: Market Manipulation Possible?
Sounds like an authoritative statement to me... Could you back up your opinion with some concrete facts to support it?

Re: Market Manipulation Possible?
The entire futures market was created for the commercials to
hedge their porfolios whether is pork bellies or stocks. Like an insurance policy, the hedger pay a premium that goes to the speculators who assume the risk. It takes both parties to make the wheel go around. |

Re: Market Manipulation Possible?
Seems to me with the advent of electronic trading, and all the tools out there , everyone is on a semi level playing field. If any body has the power to manipulate any thing it is the fed, and there plunge protection tactics. Lets see if they can stop this one.
