Excellent point Hart, you said:
"Your idea of the stroll may be true but I think if it is the walk is up not down .Sell then walk it up on little vol ready to sell again.But then I don't know".....
I may very well be guilty of that confirmation bias I posted about recently....taking what happened, the price trading down and then up into the close, I could very well be guilty of spinning today's trading to have it fit with my overall opinion of manipulation being used to accumulate shares. Manipulation happens, but it cuts both ways....to sell and to buy.
I'm still holding to my opinion, (what a shock eh) but you compelled me to look a little closer...unfortunately all the data I'd like to see isn't there. There were 63 total trades on the TSX, another 22 on top of that when the secondary/dark exchanges are included, but those don't show up. TMXMoney only shows the last 25.
We were down on the day until 3:54PM when RBC (002) had 16 trades in total as the buyer starting at $2.03 and ending at $2.09, and all 16 had the W bypass marker indicating that the hidden or iceberg portion wasn't filled. By my count those 16 trades totalled 5,900 shares.
Either way, a walk up to accumulate or a walk up to keep the retail crowd bullish and holding/buying....either way its curious.
