RE: RE: RE: RE: P.P.NewNaimo. You talk about manipulation of stock price, can anyone out there explain how manipulation works and by whom? As far as I know a shareholder can hold his share until he's ready to sell for a profit , and conversly a shareholder can hold back till he has an entry point, Thus the stockmarket! I don't know how any group of individuals can dictate what a stock does without any news, whether good or bad. Yes profit taking is the name of the game ! If anyone wants to invest and have a sure thing , buy a gic, The market is pure and simply put , gambling. Same as saying if you get 20 on black jack and the dealer busts , would you think you should get twice the bet?
