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.

@Aguytrying, does the 2% gain factor in the commission charges?

Instead of eye-ing cfcih, wait for KPLC at 21.20, its coming soon, very very soon.

yes it does. You mean 21.25. Why are you so confident that kplc will come down?

true. Though i'd have liked to buy at 7.00 flat and sell at about 7.80. To increase margin and reduce risk.

infact you are right, this is not speculation its trading. I like trading. Its easy, its fun. Quick results. Keeps me awake on the market. Less than 10% of portfolio. I see the trends, they can end drastically or not, can be on one share and end. Be on another share. Change from time to time. But are always there, and i see them.

must admit, mumias was on my radar. But potential gain to 7.80 just a bit small for me.
