You can't collude with others to artificially raise the price of a product. It can't be done with cars and it can't be done with stocks.

Imagine if all of the Toyota dealers in your state decided to lie about the horsepower in a certain car and then they all agreed to add $10,000 to the MSRP.

Should that be legal? If not, why should groups be able to lie about companies to artificially inflate the price of their stock and then sell into the pressure created by their lies?
