The only complaint I ever heard from a co. about this manipulation was from someone in the management of LNC a year or two back - I've lost all the details now, but I do notice that LNC quit the ASX and went to Singapore - perhaps the ASX should or could learn a lesson there if more cos. started trading there solely.

I'm assuming that Singapore doesn't have bots, stand corrected if they do.

I dismiss any stock nowadays that suffers from this bot trading and will be quite happy to get out of BND at breakeven to never return - a few cents to go.
