Recently a large and significant amount of the buying volume has come in when the yanks wake up. So we shall see what happens today.

No

By non existent do you mean more than half of average daily volume? I’ve got about 1,000,000 shares traded on my screen. Average daily volume is 1.5m

Your pomposity grows with each post. You must be fun to hang around with. You can filter me you boring, old chat gpt addict.

Santos

Your posts don’t make any sense. They are clearly chat gpt’d. The only post that makes sense was the pompous legal disclaimer post. Afraid of the FCA raiding your house? Bizarre. I hope you’re ok.

Santos why do you reply to my posts as though I’ve said the exact opposite of what I’ve actually said? Are you doing it to wind me up or are you just stupid?

Also. Santos, Is english your first language? I didn’t suggest HFs never do large OTC trades. Read my posts and get back to me once you’ve had time to chat gpt some of the bigger words and you have more of an understanding.

I don’t believe you ever worked at a IB. You are far too clueless. I was saying that I do not believe that the trade that you are all hung up about was a short and tried to explain just one reason why. You can’t read and even brokers need to read sometimes. Also you don’t seem to think that there are legal departments at banks/funds etc. kind of gives away that you’ve not ever worked at an IB or in the city in any capacity. Your posts are muddled and simplistic, punctuated with a few words you’ve chat GPTd.

In the business it’s known as a trading strategy.

Ive never shorted a small cap AIM stock professionally but I’ve had very, very similar jobs. You clearly haven’t. You clearly don’t know much about market dynamics. If you intend to short a stock you want to push it down, don’t you? You make money by buying it back lower so you do what you can to make that happen. You Sit on the offer to cap upwards movement . You add ‘selling pressure’. You use PA to try and get others to short it too. You take advantage of low liquidity days to force price movement etc etc. So there is in fact a wrong way to do that, and you don’t do that by selling a lump after hours/pre market OTC.

Santos

I wasn’t specifically referring to your post so chill out. There have been a number of posts from people speculating about shorters and the nature of the block trade. But, fyi your last post is confused and makes no sense. However if I was a short seller and i borrowed 18m shares and I sold them all OTC in one go I’d be pretty bad at my job.

For the purpose of clarification, if you’re borrowing 18m shares to short a stock you don’t sell them all in one lump in an OTC trade at (most likely) lower than market price.

i was exaggerating for effect but worth noting there is a big difference between negotiation and execution. my point is that all this over analysis of whether it’s a buy or sell is pointless as no one knows when the deal was actually done. it could have been significantly earlier than when the ticket was written by the broker. yes mifid dictates all deals must go through proper settlement channels and the fca regulates everything - don’t be confused by the terminology of dark pool, it’s not something dodgy it’s a catch all term used in markets to describe a way of putting big tickets through without ******* the price action. this deal was most likely bilaterally brokered between a couple of institutions. who knows why and no one will ever be able to find out. it must go through crest and whatever the aim back end system is and be cleared for payment etc. other than that certainty, guessing about it is a waste of time.

Boboil

No. Otherwise that would happen all the time

Nikb

Guessing either Darkpool or bilateral otc. The deal could have been done days ago. Without knowing when it was done renders everyone’s analysis pointless. You have no idea where the market price was at the time of negotiation for example.

You have successfully called the top in gold. Congratulations my man.

I hope Rkh gets to your made up target that allows you to fulfil your dream of retirement. FYI I retired 3.5 years ago, in my early forties, after 20+ years in the city. I am living your dream. Please remember that.

‘Woodcroft’

And what is your experience? What equips you to be an expert on all of these subjects in a very changing modern world? Is it remembering the Ted Heath administration? Is it being able to say you moaned when they made it illegal to drink drive? Other than driving very slowly to the garden centre every Wednesday afternoon, what do you do or know that makes you think you are better than the people who are decision makers today?

lol. thanks, mr chatgpt coming back with some zingers to prove my earlier points and to also highlight my follow up point. all the old boys are the ultimate snowflakes. can’t take a different opinion can you? the 2010 equality act? lol. i doubt very much that applies to personal conversations on an internet chat board. i thought you lot were all free speech and ‘lucy connelly is a political prisoner blah blah blah?’

the oaps aren’t conditioned to deal with the stimulus. you’re still trying to figure out how to program the vhs recorder.

ps. the chart looks like ****e. lose 72p and next stop 65 then 60. which would make sense considering the placement level.

It’s amusing how all the old people who claim to be wise and knowledgeable based on their vast experience, born of their advancing years, are actually the ones most easily manipulated and most exposed to having their opinions manufactured.
