RE: Market Manipulation at it's best.11 Feb 2021 15:34
Mardler err correct to a point.
You have a big II & they want some action but only happy to pay for £xm at an average price of xx pence. If you have a few what do you think the MM is going to do to fulfill that trade when the price is above the avg price? They are going to move it to where they can grab shares to achieve the avg price reqd by a big pocketed buyer. That's why you see delayed trades, off market trade, trades after close, NT trades etc etc etc.
The market is like any the bigger the pocket the bigger the sway over the price you want not the price dictated to the rest of us - "all market participants are on a level playing field" = NOT
