It is an irony that some will deny manipulation while they buy and sell stocks. The very effort to go long or short is the most basic form of small scale manipulation. Now add to that D. Gartman, J. Cramer J. Rodgers etc. Each making their pronouncements; of course they want the prices to go in their direction so they tell large numbers people who follow their successful work and try to emulate them. With all respect they are at least out front. It is the insidious ones as per Enron we have no choices but to discover after the fact how they were swinging things.
To deny they exist is a fools errand. I would have to question anyones motives when they deny manipuation. They themselves are manipulating by their statements as am I by what I just wrote.
Today I am just happy the gold price broke the 50 dma in a determined way. This before the 10:30 mark. My energy co.s are just nonstop lately. just waiting for the gold shares to start punching trough.
Keep one thing in mind with all this talk about manipulation you are the ultimate controller or your PF; not anyone else.
