I have lost count of the real estate stories I've viewed and read where an agent will deliberately under value an elderly frail persons home where the agent then sells it to a friend or relative at this well below market price.
They hold it for a short amount of time then sell it at the real market value making some quick and easy money.
In the real estate game this is highly frowned upon and has ended with harsh penalties.
Effectively the same thing happens here in the market with the small player at the mercy of the manipulators.
Unfortunately this at times taints the real value of the stock all for the finacial gain of the fiscally strong.
This is not me having a whinge as I still invest knowing the balance isn't in my or any small players favour.
