I love a good prank, but imagine a stock broker or forex pulling something like this. It probably looks a whole lot like market manipulation since it could lead holders to buy or sell based on a false trend.<p>It certainly makes me suspicious of the charts and claims forever thereafter if it is that easy to post fake info on a whim.
