Hi O76. There are different games played on many stocks depending on the intention at the time of the "player/players" Please see attached a short summary of what can happen to a stock:
Market manipulation describes a deliberate attempt to interfere with the free and fair operation of the market and create artificial, false or misleading appearances with respect to the price of, or market for, a security, commodity or currency.[1] Market manipulation is prohibited under Section 9(a)(2)[2] of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and in Australia under Section s 1041A of the Corporations Act 2001. The Act defines market manipulation as transactions which create an artificial price or maintain an artificial price for a tradable security.
Markets manipulation can occur in multiple ways:
Pools
"Agreements, often written, among a group of traders to delegate authority to a single manager to trade in a specific stock for a specific period of time and then to share in the resulting profits or losses."[3]
Churning
"When a trader places both buy and sell orders at about the same price. The increase in activity is intended to attract additional investors, and increase the price."
Runs
"When a group of traders create activity or rumors in order to drive the price of a security up." An example is the Guinness share-trading fraud of the 1980s. In the US, this activity is usually referred to as painting the tape[4].
Ramping (the market)
"Actions designed to artificially raise the market price of listed securities and to give the impression of voluminous trading, in order to make a quick profit."[5]
Wash sale
"Selling and repurchasing the same or substantially the same security for the purpose of generating activity and increasing the price"
Bear raid
"Attempting to push the price of a stock down by heavy selling or short selling."
A number of the above have been happenining to AGS IMO at different times.
Cheers
