    Fairly realistic it seems. Makes you wonder whether investment is a good thing!!!

    But, market manipulations have and always will be going on.

    True, but never on the scale like today. It is estimated that programmed trading by hedge funds and financial institutions now comprises some 70% of the total dollar value of US stock market transactions. Throw in futures contract volumes, Fed TOMO's and POMO's now on the order of 20 to 30 BILLION dollars per DAY ...
