RE: £ 1/4 million buy11 Jan 2021 18:54
NOT a buy, a sell if you ask me and the trading positions at the actual time.
The Market Makers really needed to do that as they had an excess of around 1M buys at that time.
The only question which remains is whether the 'sell' is
1) a market maker selling a shareholder's real shares for them
2) a market maker pretending they are selling someone's shares and taking a punt on being able to get those shares cheaper further down the line
or 3) a market maker selling real shares from the pot that they have been able to accumulate at much lower prices.
I think 1 and 2 are unlikely, which in the absence of any other options, in my opinion makes 3) the most likely.
