Just so you are aware, Anonymous isn't just one guy or just one firm.
Any trade can be put through as Anonymous. There's generally no requirement for a broker to publicize their trade, they have the option to do so or do it as Anonymous. Likewise some of the discount brokerages will have their trades show up as Anonymous.
I'm not saying there's no manipulation that happens, it just might not be as diabolically orchestrated as you think.
Also, for the record, buying low and selling high is kind of the point of investing...
