Any manipulation is cheating and deception. As far as piling on stocks that are hurting is no different than causing more injury to a person just hit by a car. If that is "human nature"....then I don't want any part of it. This is why people have lost their moral compass. Hurting others is wrong in every way you slice it. My soul is clean as well as my conscience. I never intend to hurt anyone. Those who do are despicable wretched soulless garbage and trash in the gutter as far as I'm concerned.. Same goes for THOSE who condone the behavior.
The day will come where people ask me "how did you know all this"? I will reply. "Don't ask me that, ask yourself why you did not".
