if its uneconomical for retail investors than surely it'd be uneconomical for these bot manipulators?
if it is allowing large shareholders to further their large shareholding to the tune of 12, or 1, shares at a time, then you would need to see how many tens/hundreds of these trades?
They then go on to control the company? Last time I checked there wasn't a new takeover strategy called by 1 share at a time till you have a hundred million shares, that would be as you put it "unecconomic" for those purchasing.
Oh and i assume your argument for it being economical for them is that they wouldn't have to pay brokerage.. which under that logic would mean commsec waiving the brokerage on your first 20 trades (A deal they did) or a broker deciding to waive their fee for a trade is also shareprice manipulation.
KC isn't venting about shareprice manipulation he is venting about not understanding why his investment is either not worth what it was, or not making him as much as he wanted as quickly as he wanted it.
Because when these "unnecconomic" trades are buys instead of sells, you don't hear anyone complaining.
Conspiracy theories. PROVE me wrong.
