I totally agree with you makin. I saw the same thing and I am amazed at how blatant the action was by these traders. I have tried to report this type of behaviour before, but just get the standard reply message back from the regulators. It is very frustrating that this can occur, and makes one wonder how free is the market.

However, if we look at things today. I see a lot of accumulation by insitutions. Short has been somewhat stable around 4 mil., so far.
