Manipulation is taking these companies and shorting them to oblivion. Keeping them cellarboxed. And people buy you sell into that buying, discouraging future buying. Now thats manipulation.
Nice first post here! Margin calls can be troubling. What are your thoughts on the rumor that Penson is demanding all of their clients with short positions cover them? Do you think this is a hoax? Having fought for the elimination of naked shorting for the past 11 years I have my fingers crossed but will have to see it to believe it. What a transfer of wealth that would cause and think of all the funds presently untaxed and hidden offshore that would come home and into the hands of small investors. That would be a beautiful thing. Go NMGL!!!
