I know it's a hard concept for you toukogson, but when accumulation occurs, the idea is not to raise the price whilst doing it. For example, underhand tactics are used during the accumulation period. Copilot says:
Big investors often employ various tactics to manipulate stock prices while accumulating shares. Here are some strategies they might use:
Fake News: Large or media-savvy investors may spread false news about a company or the entire market to influence stock prices in their favor. This manipulation can create short-term price movements. As retail investors, it’s essential to verify news sources before acting on information1.
Bear Raids: In a bear raid, a large player intentionally forces share prices lower by placing substantial sell orders. As stop-loss orders are triggered, selling pressure increases, causing the price to plunge. Bear raids are short-term manipulations1.
Spreading Rumors: Hedge fund managers might spread false rumors to reporters, aiming to keep a stock price down. By influencing media coverage, they can affect market sentiment and create buying or selling opportunities2.
Algorithmic Trading: Some big investors use algorithmic trading strategies to execute large orders without significantly impacting the market. For instance, they may employ limit orders, which execute only if the stock reaches a specific price. If not, the algorithm cancels the order3.
Remember that market manipulation is part of the game, and as retail investors, we cannot control how the big players operate. Long-term thinking and understanding different manipulation tactics can help protect your investments. 📈🔍

do they target bulleting boards with fake accounts?
Copilot
Yes, it is known that some investors or fraudsters may target online bulletin boards, chat rooms, and social media sites with fake accounts to influence stock prices. They might use these platforms to spread false information, rumors, or to create a misleading impression of market sentiment1. This type of activity is considered a form of market manipulation and is illegal in many jurisdictions.
Investors should always be cautious about the information they encounter on such platforms and should conduct their own research or consult with a financial advisor before making investment decisions. It’s also advisable to report any suspicious activities to the relevant authorities to help prevent fraud and protect the integrity of the markets.
"...or consult with a financial advisor before making investment decisions. "
Watching or ICE?
So I guess those promoting '£200 ex-China' and people referring to 'President Al' would be covered here? We all know how those tropes have aged don't we..

Thank Gje, I think it’s obvious to all who that these jobbing fudders are the lowly foot soldiers of people with a bigger plan. I’m not sure they have much bearing here. Most know their game. It is boring as much as anything and clogs up any good research/information
Don’t forget the deutsche bank note. This large institution suddenly and completely out of the blue issuing a note on little old Avacta. Definitely smells of intentional price manipulation/suppression. Would make sense if someone is loading up.
DB Target price is currently under internal investigation.

Dunno what to make of that.
Deutsche Bank has a troubled recent history with regulators and prosecutors. Various sanctions have been imposed on the bank and it has paid big fines re money laundering issues and allegations of enabling tax violations, price fixing and foreign bribery. All according to Google.
I don’t think their advice can be regarded as sound. Best ignored.
