WRONG imo... manipulation is absolutely real and it's not ridiculous - that's why they (manipulators) do it - it's not just the orders that get filled, moreover it's the ones that get placed and pulled and shifted up down all around.

Yes, they are wealthy and they use that wealth to make even more wealth. Isn't that why we all invest??

By the way, I'm a hard working single Dad and I'm not a "Soph"... but I think that judging their character is poor form and wreaks of jealousy.
