Hi Potnak - your simplistic argument is only correct when you apply supply and demand principles. You are intelligent and therefore I would presume you would understand the darker arts of both investing and trading.
Dark forces - agreed - it’s just manipulation.
Why - money
Who - mms/brokers/traders
Different tactics such as U/T’s to manipulate following day sp opening.
Cancelled large trades after hours
Fake news/negative articles that are disingenuous.
If hedge funds can reek havoc on larger stocks then anything can, and usually does, happen to smaller stocks
If a conspiracy of large Banks can manipulate LIBOR then we had all better watch out.
Spoof trades etc: it is all on the public domain if you look.
Supply and demand? It works with widgets, commodities etc: but not with share prices I’m afraid. Where there is money, corruption is not far behind in all walks of life.
Just my view
