How about the Japanese Governments market manipulation in the crash of 87!

Magical disappearance of all sell orders!

So that's why i get stopped out of so many of my trades

The debate about if or not any market is manipulated has been around for as long as the markets, any market , the S&P500, Cotton, Yen, White fish, tomato's and just about anything that's sold in a market or auction be it exchange traded or not, just visit the local supermarket to see the swings in price of everyday items, some of course is due to supply and demand but some i suspect is due to other factors, weren't Qantas recently fined for such over freight pricing ?.

If an exchange traded instrument be it a futures contract or a company's share price is manipulated at times then most traders who trade on a very regular basis over time will be on both the right and wrong side of what occurs so may well even out.

The biggest manipulator of the market is the government

I have always wondered if Governments buy & sell shares not to invest, but to manipulate.

Look at the markets today. They're bullish, although I'm not and by the sound, most people here are still weary to jump in lock, stock & barrel. So do the institutions believe in their own jargon & are pouring serious money into the markets?....or is the Government buying up to build confidence.

Would & does the ASX pass this information on to the market?

Cheers
