IronKing - I agree with your statements regarding manipulation.. but I am not fully opposed to the thought. While stocks are being manipulated, why can't 'we' the normal everyday investors, cash in while they drive the price lower? The games they play can also create opportunities for the everyday investor - for both short term & long term gains. In this market though, the everyday investor has the mindset "I'll keep my money in the bank and earn 6% as it's less risky."
