Market Manipulation

You could say the same thing for market Manipulation, that its just a form of trading the market.
 
The basics of market manipulation are here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_manipulation

I suppose in fact, rather than the written word, it depends how much was made by the manipulation; noting a case in the UK that was brought against a trader when about $1 million was involved. The sum meant that he would have defrauded companies concerning CFDs and other bets made on stock movements.
In this case multiple small trades were made, and yes, we've all seen it on the ASX; then a false market was made. Most get away with it as ASIC is a big beast and chasing small sums from traders would clog up the whole system.
 
I tend to think sports betting is more free of manipulation than the share market, so long as you use Betfair or something similar.

With the share market, it's vital to see how readily the top sells get re-filled when a SP advance is looming. Ease of movement is everything (not the indicator, the general theme). Fundies do whatever they can to inhibit free upwards price movement, so you know when they're interested in accumulating - big volumes, moderate gains and constant bot sell pressure.
 
The market (financial industry) is rigged.
The market is used to transfer money (not 100's, not 1000's, not millions, but billions of dollars) from me and you to big, politically connected, money (especially in USA, but all around the world, only to lesser degrees).
Everyone, including all ASF members, are being swindled (even if you have a positive account).
The biggest fraudulant transferologist institution is of course the FED in USA. (see article attached)
How about insider trading; front-running; lack of scrutiny by the so called regulators; changing the rules,goal posts at will; et al.
