You are probably not getting a reply because most of the people who pretend they know what is going on are just making it up and speculating. Most of what is published on these boards about manipulation, dirty tricks, buys showing as sells etc. is rubbish. The market is much more affected by investor sentiment, large sells and buys by the disclosed holders and actions by PI's than by market makers.
Also ignore the rubbish about MM's knowing of RNS's in advance and my favourite, the one share trade! (some share accounts sell small quantities of shares to take fees if there is insufficient cash in the account to pay the bill being one sensible explanation). Whilst I don't doubt that some naughty business goes on from time to time, the UK is a heavily regulated market and reputations are worth more than a few quid fiddling small investors. It was good advice to read up on the role of market markers, Nomads etc. as an informed investor tends to be less poor than the uniformed.
GLA and all IMHO
