latch a regular guy can't short because he can't borrow shares.

But if he were to accumulate a ton of shares

he could manipulate to buy more by

stacking the ASK with the shares he accumulated

This would signal to buyers to sell

thus manipulating the pps down. at that point the

Manipulator can buy a ton of shares cheap and stack the BID

Since no one could get cheaper shares on the BID, till his

order is filled,

if they want to buy they have to buy on the ASK.

Yeah usually the shares that he accumulated cheap are now on sale on the ASK!

You could potentially do this 20% swing day after day

as some MMs have as you might have noticed.

When MMs do it it is usually HFT (high frequency trading).

20% might not seem like alot but done on a large scale you can see the potential. :)
