I've heard 100-200-300 blocks signals to other mm's;
100 I need shares.
200 I need shares badly,but do not take the stock down.
300 Take the price down so I can load shares
400 Keep trading it sideways.
500 Gap the stock. This gap can be either up or down, depending on the direction of the 500 signal.
I've also read it's all an urban myth;
a phone call-text-IM would be easier YET,
wouldn't that be a trackable manipulation of a stock in the eyes of the SEC, or at least someone would care & might do something/look into it?
Others claim it's just mm's trying to fill some odd-ball orders ie; 12,300, 50,150 shares etc, (nice cover).
Odd, it seems all of the "stories & myths" has "mm" in it & if you "read the grammer & style", something I see from my kids.
I for one see it as a very cheap way for mm's to drive a stock down to "create a false sence of selling" & a little panic to
"shake the tree" loose of cheap shares.
Irregular trading pattern, especally in the volume of the blocks being traded,
surprised not more are talking about this.
We've been hangin' 10-12 for a bit &
suddenly today we hit 88 today?,
based on a bunch of 100-500 trades?
I don't see any 100k-1M blocks traded today either.
Some people, (not investors) want this "down" & did it, question= WHY?
Ma & Pa Keddle aren't trading 500 shares @ .009-.012= $4.50-$6.00+ $7.00 comm "x2" trying to "beat the market".
Seems like it could/starting to be methodically walked down.
Cheers
