I bet a lot of us are small players, like me, who are accumulating but are close to the line in our personal finances. I've had to sell about a third of my position in July, for a reno, and now accumulating very well, but payday is not until the 15th... So I can't buy as much as I would like to.
My purchases are in 20K to 30K sizes, but are filled in 3, 7 and 8 K sizes. THat indicates to me that there are a lot of small trades selling into the puny 2cent moves. they must have better commission deals than I do with my canadian banks ($28.95 per transaction minimum, 1.5% if more than about $2,000).
When we see purchases in larger blocks, 100,000 at a time, we will now that the game is changed. With such tight volume now, you cant buy 50,000 shares witout being a market mover!
Come on in, big boys, and let us little guys ride!
