it was cloudy today so either because of pathetic fallacy or a touch of the flu, i decided to stay inside to watch the trading of not shares.
wow, what a professional job/number yet again performed on poor ralph retailer!!!
i'm sure by the end of the day, the 'group' involved all went out once again for a well-earned round of beer!!
i believe the stocks 'sacrificed' on the way up by this group were significantly fewer than the cheap stocks they picked up on the stock's tumble to its closing price. they garnered the majority of the stocks for whomever they work!!!
it was a masterful plan to watch the orchestration start really at the beginning to make ralph think, 'this' is it'!!!!
and it continued being masterful as the blocks were put up at $2.49 and $2.30. this group knew exactly whose shares were out there on the bid and ask. any shares later in the day that were to go at market, went at the bid as they were greedily snapped up by them lower than the ask
it was interesting watching 10 or 15 k being added to the ask when it got down to too few shares at the ask. and then gradually the price dropped, a penny here a penny there as the group sold into the bid on small numbers, being quick to snap up 'foreign' shares put out there by poor ralph. they knew exactly where their own shares were and how many they had out there.
it was truly a display. and you know, i didn't care because i'm long on not. haven't sold a share. but the poor guy, ralpr, who thought, 'this is it', and bought at $2.45 and then panicked later in the day and sold because he was not understanding what was going on, surely had a tough day.
so again, hats off to whoever you are. it was a terrific job. and you sure earned your drink at day's end. it was very educating watching your posse at work!!!
i was surprised that tdwaterh didn't block me as i hit the refresh button constantly. hey, but what is there to do on a cloudy day.
cheers to all not longs. you've kept your shares. there are a lot who did not!!
