I would disagree...a few players in the top 100 can NOT make a noticeable difference. The other day I used some spare cash (I think it was around 4-5 million) and drastically shorted about 5 lifetime stocks. I pushed the values down about 20-30% (I believe, I didn't keep track)...within a couple hours, the stocks were back up to exactly where they were before. This was the largest attempt of mine, though I had tried lowering stock prices before...but with the exact same result.
Due to this, lifetime stocks are only trending upward and any downward movement sems to be reversed within a day. I don't know it it's one person doing this or several, but it means that individual players cannot change the over-valuation of stocks. Months ago, players used to post which stocks looked overpriced...for some reason, that doesn't happen anymore (perhaps due to backlashs against any post that quotes VGC numbers?).
