When there is a 100% spread between the bid and the ask it's always going to look like manipulation in the percentage swing. Ain't nothing to see here with that..
IT SURE IS ILLEGAL TO MANIPULATE A STOCK PRICE no matter what the darn spread is!!! They look for a pattern of buying or selling in the last few minutes of a session. If someone has done it a few times- the brokerage will work with FINRA to make sure the person spending a few hundred or less etc at 3:59pm just to depress or inflate a stock is carefully watched and then communicated too.
Most investors think manipulation is to INFLATE a stock. Quite the contrary. When a stock is trading normally and then someone literally waits until the very last minute (seconds) to make a trade for $150 even if it's a wash trade TO DEPRESS A STOCK - it's definitely privy to investigation. I am also aware of someone who found out the hard way when he tried to sell down a stock to reload it. Ameritrade caught on and he was spoken to and risked losing his account and ability to trade IF HE DIDNT CEASE ANY TRADING LAST 30 minutes.
The bottom line- this will be back to .0002 pps today and it's a shame someone would even try to sell into bid at 3:59 and 25 seconds.
I hope that helps some here as this is a stock that once volume returns and ITS COMING - a very nice move will be made here IMO.
