Then, Hacktheripper ( http://investorshub.com/boards/profile.asp?User=22656 ) analyzes the data:

I read it as a transfer of stock between MMs it will get sold off to keep the price down... look for the stock to churn above that price util unloaded... then they will bring the price back down to the mid 30's shaking out the weak hands who just bought and buy back at cheaper prices.. then take the stock back up again.....

Only in my opinion...

Thanks to these traders for allowing this presentation...
