RE:Manipulation? To what purpose?Potentially - I just saw what you were talking about. There was some tiny transactions between Virtu & Citadel that drove it down at closing. I've often seen Virtu accounts mess around in the morning and at closing with other small cap stocks - they do look like they're fishing for stop losses and algo orders and do small orders to try to trigger these. That's why I typically don't put in stop losses on small cap stocks - too much messing around.
At the end, if you're not selling, it doesn't really matter that much as it's just paper gains/losses for now. If the market wants to reset at $1.02 this morning, they'll go ahead and do so. Otherwise, TWM is stuck in this perpetual range.
