Cappy, I think there is enough oversite on the Cdn Banking system and its members to prevent their manipulation of stocks and the stock market.
The likely culprit in this scenerio may well ba some of the hedge funds that hold enough financial strength to make daily changes in a stocks price, and especially in a junior stock.
It would be easy to buy a million shares at 5 and sell at 4.5 or 5 cents over time to keep the price low, looking for a huge gain long term. I hope and assume if they were to do this they would be confident in the stocks longer term outlook so that they could recoup their losses (in fees or price changes) and make a healthy profit for their clients.
Just my opinion but I do not think banks are sitting with a mittfull of KWG shares being used to manipulate anything or they would be in deep s**t.
