How many times have I heard their stock answer " we don't see any unusual trading patterns"...or words to that affect. I just figured out why! Today I watched yet another stock take a hit on 100 shares traded in the last seconds of the day, to take it down by the usual suspects for .10 cents dropping the percentage an annoying amount. I thought how I've seen this dozens and dozens and dozens of times. Then I thought, hey!, this goes on and on in every exchange for hundreds and hundreds of stocks so that...... IT IS'NT AN UNUSUAL TRADING PATTERN! As a matter of fact it's a most usual trading pattern. So the OSC isn't telling lies. This type of crap is so common and so pervasive that if they went after these entities and pressed charges or fined them, most of the financial sector would be behind bars, or at least signing checks in court. What a great system we have where people can defraud, manipulate, steal...or what ever you call it in plain view of the world, digitally recorded in the public domain for all to see. Perhaps a little oversimplification on my part but I think it holds more water than it leaks. Speaking of leaks, has anyone heard any?
