Low volume - highly manipulatedMARI is now totally manipulated by one entity (or two working in cohort) while it is a low volume stock.
the guilty banks are #1 and # 79 on TD. they control BOTH the bid and the ask by computer program to maintain as large a spread as possible in their favor.
I saw this in action when I tried to sell several thousand shares (a small part of my holding).
They maintain a spread (for any significant volume) of something over 10 cents to the current bid and ask. On level II you can see that they enter the bid and ask at a far removed 10-20 cents plus for any volume. when I tried to put in an ask, their computer automatically bid one penny below me almost instantly. On the ask they make sur that they have the bid for any lalrge volume in conjuction with the "partner" on the ask. It is #1 and #79 who together contrive to contol any of the low volume through them. To do any large transaction you have to do it at a large (unfavorable) spread to the current last transaction or the current bid and ask. Any large holder who really wants out will have no choice but to move the stock in a large way. Until volume returns to this stock, it is dead money and theonly ones making money on this will be institutions #1 and #79.
