I am not a trading pro and except his last sentence, 2Violins explanation is very reasonable.
It is perfectly legal and it happens every were, especially on the US markets. This is how the hedge fund made their trades. I just experience it myself with the Alta Gas (ALA.UN).
It is not that easy to buy or sell large volume of shares. No question that GENUITY had big influence on the CLL SP in Q4 2008. As you, Scott posted few days ago US institutions dumped 3 million CLL shares on AMEX which could explain additional weakness on the CLL SP.
I think Resolute Fund recognized their mistake and stopped supporting the CLL SP after December 15 POD1 shut down. Correct me if am wrong but there was no Resolute Filings in January or February.
