What is your definition of 'rigging the market'?

Surely, in everything that is traded, price is simply the confluence of supply and demand. That simple fact applies to carrots, houses, condoms, gold, stocks, football tickets and other of thousands (millions) of items.

Doesn't everyone want to get the best deal? I reckon everyone is a manipulator by some peoples' definition. If I can move a market in the direction I would like it to go - opposing forces would counteract it if there was enough supply/demand to do so. That is just capitalism at work.

No doubt, all the time, big players take advantage of situations to influence a better deal (price) that is just business, surely!
