One method of manipulating stock prices for maximum profit is buying stocks on margin. Using leverage allows investors to control a larger amount of stocks than what they would otherwise be able to afford, increasing their potential for profit. Another method is short selling which involves selling shares that the investor doesn't own yet, in order to repurchase the same shares at a lower price and pocket the difference. Arbitrage takes advantage of differences in prices between two or more markets and is also used as an hedge against risk. Finally news related strategies include buying on rumors and selling on actual news where price movements can be capitalized upon by traders using technical analysis charts

Traders commonly use a variety of methods to manipulate stock prices for maximum profit. These strategies may include buying or selling large amounts of stock in order to create artificial demand or supply, pitting different investors against each other through “touting” and spread rumours, manipulating news articles or website rankings to influence the movement of share prices, as well as using high-frequency trading techniques that exploit small market inefficiencies. Additionally, using complex algorithms and programs can help identify opportunities where the price of a security has already begun to rise or fall due changes in the market such as mergers and acquisitions making it easier for traders to enter profitable positions faster.
