Newman,

To make money in the markets, you follow the "big money" always. You sit with your fingers on the trigger when you have a trade going, ready for a que that comes, then you exit the trade. When you are successful at "piggy backing" the big boys, you become successful, knowing their moves before they make them. When dealing with Automatic Trading Systems, (ATS,s ), it becomes a little more challenging to trade, but if you get a general sense of the algorithms used, or if they are employed on a stock you are trading in, you can compete to a level with them.

Also, you must keep in mind that the trading houses, the institutions can see all bids and asks in an instance, and when trading, it is better to buy/sell at market price, to avoid a trap or change in strategy by a Market Maker (MM0, or other "players" in the stock.

You may wish to watch increasing volume to the buy side as an indicator of news to come, for example, this scenario was just blatant in IGD, where the increased volume was the indicator to buy, and where the que to sell was as soon as the big money started dumping, or when the news comes out. So, essentially, sell on news, buy on increasing volume. Do not look for any trends on a technical analysis side, because these trends are not actually trends, and can be manipulated at a moments notice, entrapping you if, you are unaware of this.

a usual indicator of a PP coming in a stock, is the pressure/manipulation to the downside, in which the MM is employed to manipulate the stock downwards, so that the company can announce a PP at a more attractive SP and entice more investors.

The markets are rigged and controlled by the biggest institutions, which dictate what SP, s will be. They have the power to take a stock to zero or take it to infinity, WITHOUT even owning/having a share, because they are allowed to fabricate stock out of thin air to do this. The TSX, as well as most Exchanges, have a "bail in" policy, which allows any MM that come up short handed trading stock, has time to try and find it somewhere, to settle on/with the depository, to help aleviate any imbalances in factual stock and phantom stock. With SLI, there was a considerable amount of "phantom stock" created as a result of MM activity and also in event of the "orchestrated" stock hit in Jan 2012. To my knowledge, this imbalance of phantom shares has not been corrected yet, because the shareholders would not sell "legitimate" stock. This is partially why Lori sold A LOT of her stock.

Most every stock is a scam, and should NEVER be invested in. The whole idea of a stock market, is to pillage the constant contributors and keep them in a cycle of continuous supply to the puppets, of the higher up greed. But, I am pleased to say, that the way it was, is presently dissolving and cannot continue as it has in the past, if it continues at all.

FYI, as part of the intimidation I suffered as a result of standing up against the stock price manipulation of Jan 2012, I was singled out in EVERY ONE of my trades and attacked by RBC brokers in every stock I tried to trade, resulting in huge losses for me. This part of the intimidation, was the "financial burden" aspect. The way these guys work is; if you don't do as they say, they intimidate, if that doesn't work, they financially burden as well. Some times their intimidation takes the form of death threats. Of which ALL has been orchestrated upon me, to very costly and appreciable lengths on the "big guys" part. RBC has colluded big time in the happenings of this SLI stock, and is it really any wonder when they are tied to Barrick, Bob Lachance and Jeff Ruskowsky, to a degree, as well as some other interesting connections? RBC was picked to be the main Canadian conspirator because most of the other Canadian banks, ARE OWNERS of the TSX, and RBC is not, which gives a little arms length in paper trails and also for perhaps a little assurance of covering up what is really happening.

I know many are still skeptical, but this is my TRUTH.
