A Whale is a large-scale institutional investor, such as a hedge fund or pension fund, that moves significant capital, often millions of pounds, into a stock like HE1.
Unlike retail traders who buy and sell based on short-term excitement or fear, Whales execute "Block Trades" through off-book venues like SINT to acquire massive positions without instantly spiking the price. They are rarely looking for a quick flip or a company takeover; instead, they are making a Structural Bet on the company's long-term value, often accumulating shares when retail "minnows" are panic-selling...
