RE:Next quarter results Agree, the SP has been manipulated....Hedge funds and their super computer programs ahve the ability to increase pressure on retail investors.....My sons friend used to work for small investment firm owned by RBC and his primary job was managing the IT department that specifically created and tested these super programs that were used for online trading....
Lets just say he left his position due to the fact that his moral beliefs interfered with the job tasks presented to him. He was paid off handsomely to sign a confidentiality document when he resigned.
