   For many years I have been using a swing trading system that includes heavy reliance on price-volume correlation.

   While I see the dramatic increase in overall volume in the markets, I do not see it as skewing any signals I use.

   There is nothing new about the sort of pump-and-dump schemes you seem to be describing. I agree the economy is in trouble and the markets are equally so, but trading systems need to adjust to the times and flex with new market quirks.

   I believe that stocks in the market are generally way over-priced. with up to 50% of the price of a stock just emotional value based on supply and demand having little to do with the actual value of a company — it’s just hype, or to be more polite, Wall St.’s recognition of a company’s apparent value. If that is the case, then it’s all manipulation anyway. Understanding that is what drove me to learn to trade instead of “investing”.
