Fearless
I quite enjoy your folksy postings. However I take issue with your use of the words manipulation & manipulated. I accept the Soto article can be classed as manipulation. Other normal trading in the mkt. such as tax-loss selling, shorting, profit taking can hardly be manipulation. It is just the mkt. It appears when the mkt. goes our way you consider that normal. When the mkt goes against us you consider it manipulation. Am I being too harsh with you?
