Are the stock markets manipulated

I live in Mumbai and simply cant make sense of what is happening in the stock markets. On one hand I hear from small businesses about their plight and how business is down 50-60% in one year on other hand markets are at their peak point.

Can someone please explain what is going on. Is there manipulation, is this FII.

Something doesnt seem right, at all. more

SEBI and other related stake holders should wake up right now and make in depth study of the reasons for jumping up of the Index every day to make a new history, as interests of millions of our small and marginal investors are directly involved. Its already high time to look into the matter. more

After trading is allowed to direct foreign investments, the share market is getting over whelming response and many of our domestic traders are inflecting the share market. That means our share market is in the hands of direct foreign investors. more

Stock market is a business of speculation and manipulation. It has nothing to do with the actual working of the company. Many unscrupulous people have floated companies on papers only and showing profits consecutively and paying income-tax also. The share value of such companies is very high. The stock market is managed by 2-3 big operators only. They daily decide which share to be bought and sold. This is the reason that the small investors/day traders lose money in more than 90% cases but the brokers and big operators are creating fortunes daily. SEBI should wake up and study the working viz-a-viz stock price of every listed company. Simply submission of quarterly/annual results will lead more fraud/manipulation in the stock market. more

The stock markets are manipulated world over by Big Players and Brokers. Now online trading facility is available to individuals so number of players is very large. Share prices go up or down based on perceptions and certain events. Right now market is going up on account of relaxations in lock down curbs. Another reason is a new breed of investors who apply in IPOs to earn a profit on listing gain of the share. This profit is without investment due to ASBA facility. The gap in allotment of shares and their listing is reducing and about 3 days only. So on locking your money for 3 days you can earn profit. Another factor for manipulation is use of Algorithms for share trading which are very fast computer programs. more
