Market Manipulation

1. I'm on a stock trading live chat most days

The market is almost entirely driven by tweets and oil price right now. Volume is thinner than average - fewer participants willing to engage under these conditions. Traders are closely plugged into Fed speakers today, and Leavitt's new conference for anything that may affect oil prices.

It's very clear that insiders know about major announcements ahead of time. It is visible on the orders when they start loading up. All the short-term traders are glued to these clues.
