We may not like it but if a person, org, company, or whatever has the financial ability to move the SP to their advantage (whatever the reason) I don't see where anyone can find fault. If they find a large oil company was affecting the SP to build a long term position I don't see what could be done to them as I would do the same thing in their shoes. Don't like it as a small investor but money talks.
MM's doing naked short sales with no stock to back up such sales is the only situation I can think of that should require criminal penalties for such actions.
I always find it interesting when people accuse others of "manipulating" a stock. Sure you have the message board pump and dump schemes but short of that, buying and selling stock whenever you feel like it to make a profit is not stock manipulation. So, what's your beef? It seems to me that someone is just trading ERHE to make a profit which is perfectly legal and even expected on stocks like this. I am not a trader but I do not begrudge those that chose to do it. In the end the market will determine the value of the stock and long-term invertors will not be harmed by short-term traders so what is all the fuss about? I don't get it.
