Ya, but 2.5m is better than 10k @ ask. Not only that, think of how many times we have been painted on the bid with a 10k share whack, right before close... After trading all day between the spread, or even @ ask. Take em' when you can get em'.
It was not me although I bought enough to make my odd lot even 300k plus 150 way before close, 2.5 my was a good one if it was painted 3 grand, not peanuts for a gallon of paint
