I didn't say they were hedging anything or shorting anything..The trades did not go off on the ask..they went off between the bid and ask..Trades that go off between the bid and the ask..as we have seen lately..could also be buys..I was just wondering if the new investors could be buying up the shares that we have seen lately that go off near the end of trading or after the close..It was just a thought as I said..Do you have any explanation for what is happening?? A new MM that we have never seen before on the ask shows up for over a week and doesn't get taken out by some very big blocks?? If so..lets here what you think is happening..My first guess in the post before that one..was that it was a financier trying to get rid of shares but the volume has not been high enough to do that..Whatever it is..the pps will not increase until that MM is taken out...veno
