bretto,
Toastman on the AVB thread gives a good analysis "Pro money withdraw their support and down she goes. Mums and dads cannot move a market far or for very long. If Pro money are interested in buying, they typically buy on down days [ not always ] and will use any dirty tricks to facilitate their buying cheaply such as selling small amounts to pull down the share price whilst simultaneously buying up larger quantities, triggering stop loss runs, shakeouts and will churn, where they buy and sell to themselves all day ensuring the SP stays in a range while they distribute or accumulate.
There is nothing new in all of this . It has been well documented for well over 100 years. Electronic trading has simply enhanced the edge. These guys are not here to help you. "
