Yup! I hear about manipulation to the downside ALL the time... I hear all sorts of claims about the MMs and alleged short sellers... What I don't hear is any discussion about the manipulation to the upside! Or maybe some think that never occurs?
I can find you SEC litigation that proves otherwise...
I think we all know that the MMs will always try to manipulate things up or down to their advantage... I really doubt there are any "shorts" here that did not cover long ago...lol... And I doubt this is high enough to attract any new short positions. But are there any parties that might benefit from pulling off some upside manipulation???
