They convince others to buy the positions which are reaching record highs.

As an average investor, I'm glad to see a willingness among buyers to push the prices up, but I am also suspicious of the ability of the big houses to create 'pump' and 'dump' scenarios.

I'm feeling as if now is a time to watch for the fall back that will establish some level as a floor.
