You've got it backwards. You need to blame your own stock picking shortcomings not "bankers, realtors. and lawyers" if you think SHLD, JCP and DRYS are falling due to market manipulation. Those three have long histories as transparent garbage. Have you noticed that every article about them prominently includes the word "Risk?" How did you miss all the boarded up Sears and Penney's stores, many in boarded up malls? Their problems are real and decades-old.
Sometimes high risk means high risk!
My own portfolio reached another high yesterday. But I only buy quality issues such as Rockwell Automation, MMM and Boeing, and certainly no sleazy Greek shipping stocks. How many reverse splits has DRYS pulled now? Eight, perhaps? Did Warren Buffett fall for DRYS' all-too-obvious sucker yield?
As for that whiny Swiss investment group, I suspect they're doing the manipulation to create a pop to sell into. There's no way SHLD is going private unless they can find an idiot -- preferably another foreign idiot who's never seen a depressing Sears store -- to finance it.
