Hi jubilee,
Granted, but if you go and see what the American sentiment of the mass group action by wallstreetbets subscribers on Reddit are saying, they are playing the financial ETF’s at their own game.
The open shorts were set at 150% and they have pilled in and bought heavy, and they are mostly agreed “do not sell.” They realise that they only need to hold their shares and force the funds to trigger the margin calls! It’s a concerted squeeze effort and the retail investors are not in it for the monetary gain, so they say!
Monday will be very interesting to see how this plays out, the shorts have already started to close and it currently stands at 103%.
illegal actions, and corrupt practices to drive stocks lower. This shorting activity needs to be HALTED immediately. https://youtu.be/VMuEis3byY4
Big purchase of 3.5M shares, and still this stock does not move, what is manipulating this share in this low price band?

I have reposted the information below, borrowed from PAPUCEL on the BAE BB, I found it to be very informative on the shorting activity taking place on the stocks daily, do spend time to watch the 2 videos they are worth taking the time.
Dear All,
I am a rational, analyst investing long term and I had been antagonised in the past 2 months by the the stocks I hold, solid, good news yet crashing down. I downloaded from LSE hundred of thousands of transactions on AZN, GSK, OBX, BA. to understand why there are not enough points of resistance and hardly slept few hours a day (yep I am a bit obsessive when things don't make sense).
I believed that the Bid/ Offer spread is calculated on the weighted average of the books which to my shock I discovered that spot transactions of a single share can drag the price down and there are dozens of them. Also I discovered that even that automatic trading exists as a mater of fact the computers IF would have had independent criteria then they would have created these points of SP resistance which I couldn't find - even on good news the stocks were going down.
The most enlightening finding which I want to share with you (not to make the same mistake as me to get out of certain positions in panik) is that there is only e very weak correlation between the number of shares traded and th % dropped, meaning that a very low number of shares traded (over the counter "OTC") could significantly drag the shares down.
So I moved from the technical analysis into the social media to find out why the SP resistance points are not working. To my shock I found out ex traders who lost their jobs in the Fin Criss set u these "academies" coordinating thousands of people across the world to whom they facilitate credit lines (they don't trade with full SP cost but OTC contracts ) and they don't even need a trading licence because they convinced "the middle class fool" that can get rich quickly. These Shorting attacks are coordinated on computers MLM (multi level marketing structures). Watch these videos to see how thousands of "middle class fools around the world" get trapped in these MLM "get reach through shorting quick schemes" and how they break these SP resistance points against the fundamentals trationalle:

I hope this post to answer some of the questions here and on the other shares with irrational behaviour even on good news on solid stocks and to give some comfort to the long term investors not to panic when these attacks take place as they feed on fear. I will post this on all the boards of stocks I have .

Is it the case that to be able to place a short, there has to be a “Sell order” done which the Broker borrows the stock and then when the Shorter closes they have to buy back the same quantity of stock, at the hopefully lower price in order to make their profit! So I’m guessing this large sell is the short increase done by Whitebox advisers llc?
JM,
Very ballsy move, "GOOD LUCK", as long as you hold you will do well :)
This is why the share price is having such a big swing but there is NO Volume in the trading, so they are not making money!!!
If you are a LTH then this activity, and price fluctuation has no consequence to you what so ever. GLA don't get ulcers.
Can anybody please explain to me what did Capita do in the week of 4th March that caused the price to drop from 130p down to 40p. How did their performance or order book change, and what merited the huge drop?
Thanks.
Regards.

Are the MM's playing with the prices, trying to trigger stop losses?
My Barclays Smart investor account shows the current PMO price @14.25 all of a sudden!!!!
I have not been on here very long trading, but I can honestly say I am witnessing my first evidence of a Tree shake!!! what with buyers in excess of sellers by a 2:1 ratio. and the price keeps going down. Any thoughts?
Hi Everyone,
Does anybody watch the Trades board?
Can you please explain why there are so many low volume trades on this share?
For example I see many in the volume range of 1- 20 shares traded.
How would any investor make these trades with the commission costs and duty?
I guess my real question is, is this the way that the MM's manipulate the price in a required direction?
Happy for your thoughts
If you ever wanted to witness a tree shake, then today is the day! Hold on to your elastics, and check your SL's.
GLA :)
NOFEAR,
That was trade share volume! :)
There is definitely something going on it took over 12 mins for my trade to appear on the ticker, bought via Barclays Smart investor account. I bought in again 21k
No bad news on the webinar today, mostly positive and in line with current thinking, trading daily volume is well below the normal daily average, and no adverse bad news. So either the MM's are at their tricks today, or this is not a real issue, still holding!
no reason for that at all!
