Its possible that YA inform the mm's when they are about to release millions of shares, not just here but in all companies they are involved in
That way the MM's can play with pi's knowing the future ( next, hours, days or week ahead )
Mm's only make on the difference between buy and sell, but if you know whats coming on the book, thats not showing yet you have advantage to maximise spread to play the market and maximise profit.
I have never ruled out the MM's and YA being in bed together
You do not bite the hand that feeds you.
here is my favourite quote thou
About arbitration, that came about around time Majors took an interest and within the time that flow rates have been hidden under the reasoning of extending testing and NDA
" You do not fight over an empty box"
Shorts closing
This was a recommendation to close shorts
Now if company was in trouble, you would as a broker cover that loss from buyers
Now problem would be bigger if shorts - suddenly got wiped out
Yes the brokers could go for big profit, but from where.
Imagine Exxon announced they will farm in, £400m cash and 25% profit goes to FRR
The share price rises to 3p and shorters have on average £20,000
That means they have to pay back £200000 but can not
So Brokers will take them to court, for house or whatever.
But no guarantee that a shorter has assets to cover that cost
Broker loses
Even if they gain back the money thru courts, it could take months or years
Mean while broker has the problem
Lets say the total shorts are £1m - they have a near £10m problem short term
Lenders Companies go bust
Thats the problem with shorting
If i put £20k in here, i know max i could lose is £20k
But
If i short £20k then that number i could lose is infinite
I believe (imho) that shorts advice is to close is excellent news and this is the last big throw of the dice by YA and shorter's who i believe work in collusion.
