60 Minutes tonight. Anyone see how the stockmarket is manipulated? It will not effect long term buying. Big companies pay for the technology that when you go to buy or sell they cut your bid off by, I think it was 3 milliseconds to buy or sell what you want and they either raise your purchase price by a couple of pennies or offer you a couple of pennies less for your sale.
They do this millions of times a day on almost every trade. A Canadian guy caught on and figured out this form of legal manipulation. CRAZY. These companies make millions just by cutting off your trade attempt.
