RE:RE:Re: Share Price Every microcap that grows into a smallcap and beyond eventually undertakes the services of a market maker. If they are sufficiently armed with stock and capital, yes they can control the share price. Even though it is manipulation, it's not illegal --- for some reason that i don't understand. Perhaps it is because the market can move against them too if they are underresourced. Not sure but it is a necessary tool for these companies that have to get their share price into instiutional hands.
