"Marking the Close" IS a serious matter!

As is any form of "Painting the Tape" to manipulate CAPC share price.

And while it may not bother you:

Doesn't bother me, as things even out over the long haul. Not worth losing sleep over.

I imagine these miscreants lost quite a lot of sleep, along with a few other things, having been caught at it:

The US Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently fined a high-frequency trading firm a cool $1 million to settle charges that the firm had used their sophisticated algorithmic trading system to “mark the close” or “bang the close.”

“Marking the close” is a form of market manipulation. Simply put, the practice is an attempt to influence the closing price of a security by executing purchase or sale orders just prior to the close of trading. Marking the Close.
