Sorry don't want to get off topic but just have to comment on this...Market manipulation has been prevalent since day 1 in stock trading...100 years ago newspaper reporters would wait for JP Morgan to walk out of his office to ask what the stock market is going to do....he'd give them the opposite of his opinion then buy or sell into the rally or selloff. Modern day brokerage firms do it all the time. Great recent example is 2 weeks ago Morgan Stanley put an upgrade on tesla....tsla was up $25 that day and Morgan had already bought before the upgrade and probably sold into the rally....in the past week tsla gave up that $25 gain plus more.....large brokerage firms make billions every year through manipulating with buy or sell recomendations... And the SEC will always protect the majors ...if the little guys try it through social media the SEC will call it market manipulation....
