What Does Manipulation Mean?
The act of artificially inflating or deflating the price of a security. In most cases, manipulation is illegal. It is much easier to manipulate the share price of smaller companies, such as penny stocks, because they are not as closely watched by analysts as the medium- and large-sized firms.

Also known as "price manipulation".
Investopedia Says
Investopedia explains Manipulation
One way people can deflate the price of a security is by placing hundreds of small orders at a significantly lower price than the one at which it has been trading. This gives investors the impression that there is something wrong with the company, so they sell, pushing the prices even lower. Another example of manipulation would be to place simultaneous buy and sell orders through different brokers that cancel each other out but give the perception, because of the higher volume, that there is increased interest in the security.

I like this guy already. Come to think of it mwanahisa, deal, myself and mlefu like to speculate. Why dont we support this thread, with our speculative plays. I had another thread 'bargains to buy from tomorrow'. I speculate with around 15% of my portfolio, to keep my blood flowing, as my long term takes its time.

No. It is NOT 'manipulation'... He has put the bid out on the Board... You can either out-bid him or sell to him.

The problem is the lack of liquidity of C&G.

@the deal - If the shares are 'cheap' at 29/- then you should also bid. If they are pricey at 31/- then you should sell!!!

Scangroup. Bought at 50.00. I've acquired it over the last few days. Time to sit back and see. I had an eye on unga at 8.60 but the universe conspired against my bid. Others to note. Pan africa. 44.50, c and g 30.00, cfc 54.50. But i've opted for scan. Lets see how it goes.
