Having visited HFT exchanges, and there are 13 to be exact, it becomes clearly obvious that many stocks are being manipulated. This is done to control share prices using large volumes of buying and selling, and shorting of course. As the large share block holders trade, and they are brokers and institutions with HFT access, they get a .03 cent per share per trade rebate from the HFT exchanges regardless of direction. As a example, as a share price approaches say $20. many pre-programmed algorithms kick in and short the stock. PPS drops a bit, algos kick in again, large block holders buy, and the cycle repeats , over and over , etc. Do the math on say 100,000 shares 3 times per day minimum. Now add the spread as HFT trading is so fast in "front running" you cannot detect it. Bottom line, retail investor only one to lose.
Hope this makes sense and helps.
