I am considering not going back into the market because I believe that the price of stock can be manipulated by short sellers especially naked short sellers. If stock prices are not indicative of the companies balance sheets, but, by the desire of traders to make a profit, then this is not investing it is simply gambling. Thank you for making this clear to laymen so they can realize the risk.
