price manipulation, page-5

Example is say I want to sell $10,000 shares and I am happy to get $1.00 for them

So before I sell I'll nibble some buys and try drag the price up one cent at a time, maybe to $1.10, Maybe I spend $100 doing that, and then I sell 10,100 shares @ $1.00

Then when price is $1.10 my sale order at $1.00 is more likely to get taken up.

Remember you and I pay $17.99 per trade these guys pay an annual fee and all trades are free for them
