Understanding Manipulation
Manipulation takes many forms in the markets. One way people can deflate the price of a security is by placing hundreds of small orders at a significantly lower price than the one at which it has been trading. Investors get the impression that there is something wrong with the company, so they sell, pushing the prices even lower. Another example of manipulation is placing simultaneous buy and sell orders through different brokers that cancel each other out. This form of manipulation gives the perception, due to the higher volume, that there is increased interest in the security.
