It is not the big houses that manipulate these stocks, it is management, the company itself. Believe me and I speak from experience.
The Venture exchange itself makes New York look like a cheap casino. There is no cheating or manipulating. It is very tightly controlled. It is all computerized, no market makers a such.
Some companies have a broker looking after the share price. The company gives him a certain amount of shares and he is buying and selling for the company to maintain a stable share price or manipulate the price. The broker has a "box".
