D&D has bought about 7 million shares and sold about 50,000.

That's a big difference. If they have been selling on highs they could only do it through annon.

Anyone can sell through anon. Just call your broker and ask to place an anon trade. They charge you full pop commissions for this unless you have an account over a million and then they usually knock the fee down. Especially if you use anon often. If you trade through a discount broker there is a direct number to call to place an anon trade.

I agree with Bratty that they probably have been averageing down by selling on highs through anon. If the D&D buyer is one person.....which is probably the case (helicopter guy)........ then they either have a huge position at a average that has them underwater or he/she traded to average down and has less shares than appears. You don't really hurt yourself doing this as there are always lulls where you can sell beforehand and buy back at a lower price. This obviously requires volume when you own that many shares. That is what percipitates the "sell on news" scenario.

I have a really cool program that shows overbought situations to sell into and oversold to buy at. You can set these up yourself based on all the technical parameters out there. Many of these programs are free. The ones you pay for give instant info and the free ones have a 15 minute delay. both work well if they are set up correctly and periodically adjusted to suit changes in the market. You also need a boatload of common sense and discipline to not get caught offside.
