Good evening soldier hows it going?
November 20 7:14am
Determining what is really happening as relating to buys vs. sells is basically impossible. What normally holds true is that when the majority of sales are going through at the ask, the price goes up, when the majority of sales are going through at the bid, the price goes down... and even still, a concept as simple as that doesn't always hold true.
The reason I say it is basically impossible to tell what is a "real" buy or sell is because you never know just exactly what is going on. Some examples using made up numbers...
* A trade of 10k at the bid of .15. This could be 1) A sell by one investor of 10k at the bid of .15 (sometimes called "bid whacking") and a buy by another investor of 10k at .15 (should be the investor with the highest bid to buy that is not at the ask). Volume for this transaction shows as 10k. 2) A sell by one investor of 10k at the bid of .15 but not given to an investor and instead picked up by a MM. MM pockets 10k shares to either save for later if he thinks the price is going up or to cover a short position. Volume shows as 10k. 3) A MM shorting at the bid. In other words, no investor out there looking to sell at the bid but a MM, for various reasons, "creates" 10k shares and gives them to the investor with the highest bid which would be .15 in this case. Volume shows as 10k.
* A trade of 10k at the ask of .16. This could be 1) A sell by one investor of 10k at the ask of .16 (the guy who is offering his shares for sale cheaper than anyone else would be the best ask) and a buy by another investor of 10k of .16 (investor buying the ask). Volume for this transaction shows as 10k. 2) While I'm not sure if this happens or not as it is more difficult to determine, I do suppose an investor could put 10k of shares up for sale at .16 and a MM would take them for himself. Volume would show as 10k. 3) Then you have your famous MM shorting at the ask. The ask is supposed to be an investor who is willing to sell shares for, in this case, .16. However, there are times when there is NO investor with shares available at .16 yet the MM either believes the stock will be going down soon or is trying to prevent an increase in the share so shorts the stock at .16 with his own made up shares that he has not yet bought. So in this case you have an investor who will buy 10k shares at the ask of .16 from a MM who doesn't actually have any share for sale at this price so adds 10k shares to his short position. Volume for this shows as .10k
* A trade of 10k at the bid of .15 followed immediately by another trade of 10k a tick above at .151 or close. This could be 1) A sell by one investor at the bid of .15 for 10k (bid whacking) but the shares were given to the highest bidder which was actually a hidden .151. MMs don't always (and rarely in HMGP) show bids anything other than to the nearest 1/2 penny. In this case the MMs made .001 on the spread. Also, what is different about this is that it is basically the same as 1 in the first set of examples above except the volume is shown as 20k and not 10k as it was before. Same basic trade occurred but volume is shown as double on the ticker. 2) It could also be a sell of 20k by an investor at .15 but with maybe only 10k available at .151 that is taken out first followed by another 10k at the shown bid of .15. Along with this you have an investor(s) that bought 10k at .15 and another buy of 10k at .151. Total volume in this case is 20k. Similar can happen at the ask, only in reverse of course.
The above are just a handful of the more common scenarios and there of course can be more. So, you can see how it is difficult to exactly pinpoint what is an investor buy or an investor sell and what the "true" volume is for the day. By "true" volume it all depends on how you think the volume should be tracked… in some examples above the volume was 10k yet in another example for nearly the identical type trade the volume would show as 20k. Basically, a lot depends on whether the transactions are taking place between two investors, between a MM and an investor, and investor and MM, or a MM shorting. In all cases, the tape and volume can change significantly depending on how it all pans out during the day.
I don't know if any of the above is really written down anywhere so one could say the above is just an opinion but it is how I see things work. If there is a hardspot with any of it, feel free to correct me!
Hey hey, GOOD for you :) Couldn't have happened to a nice guy.
VERY GOOD Intuition :) I hope you loaded up big time. GOOD FOR YOU- you deserve a big payoff after going through all that!
Oh, I'll bet he hopes it hurries.... hurries to go down so he can buy in and then hurries back up. In that case.... I'm game with that. It can go down and I'll take some more too!
We've seen way higher share price just on speculation of something not even half as good as this co is already producing and selling at a profit. I'll wait as long as it takes :)
Did you buy at .10? and watch it go down? If so that must've been hard to see.
Well,even giving me that much info is great since I haven't invested in a rm before during the transition phase. I hope they hurry! LOL- don't we all?
