Anavex Life Sciences Corp (AVXL)

[imho]

A lot of people assume this means LPC type companies want to decrease the share price of their clients (toxic financing). I don’t believe that’s the case. Remember they want to sell those shares the next day for more than they paid so they don’t want the share price to decline. They would love to see it increase on that day.

Exactly. That is so obvious, I am surprised people are still wrestling with the LPC affect on the stock price. LPC buys stock from Anavex. That means for LPC to make money, the stock must go up. It is in LPC's best interest. My guess is that, upon LPC purchase of stock, they turn around and sell "covered" calls (out of the money) netting the premium $ and eventually selling the underlying shares at a profit, at a higher AVXL SP.

IMHO
