Calls, Puts, dark pools, short, long.
Seems to me trying to understand the “manipulation” of this stock seems somewhat black and white to me.
If you are long, yes institutional buying is up, as X points out only 15% so not that much. But here is a contrarian view regarding the large volume of calls to puts ….. I do not think it’s longs who are buying these, in fact the opposite. If most of the short buying is institutional which I think it is (my opinion) then they are using calls to protect there A$$ES. Buying calls alone is a gamble unless you are trying to protect (hedge) a short. If you feel LWLG has unlimited upside you would never buy calls, you would just buy the stock. And institutions use calls / puts much more than the retail guy who doesn’t have the bank roll to hedge or doesn’t understand the concept of calls / puts.
Also the buying (long or short) of 40% in dark pools a little concerning. I bought 21K shares a week back, all in one lump to see what the price action would be through Schwab, didn’t move at all. There is a lot of opinion on MM manipulating the stock to either allow “institutional” buyers short or long to enter. I just don’t see that.
Thoughts ?
