if someone is manipulating, and you know about it - it should be very easy to profit off of
 
basically, you are saying BP could hire a monkey to run the company and it would not affect their market cap
 
What does share price and the operations of a business have to do with each other


We'll start with compensation plans, capital to run those operations and dividend payments on the stocks.
 
I think the better question is, what do these banks know about the oil business that can help BP bolster their share price? The answer there is basically nothing.

BP is trying to mitigate a potential run on their shares so they can either sell themselves or merge with a competitor, probably either Exxon or Shell, someone who can absorb the costs of the spill.
 
This. BP as we know it is unlikely to exist 5 years from now, this is them trying to get the best deal possible by going to the money men.
 
please explain, how exactly does HF trading manipulate the market ?

also, reference to the 60% number ?
 
are they trying to restructure so that some entity from this will be financially salvageable?

excuse my terminology, i don't know shit about banking
