RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Unbelievable!!!
RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Unbelievable!!!I would like to add that these sell walls were always at a single price, rather than the blocks of shares across a range of prices and from a single seller - as would typically be found in more thinly traded, low volume stocks when someone is attempting to exit. This is why I suggest their aim seemed to be to surpress upward price movement.

When there was good news (eg about the effectiveness of IXOS following tests or the pathogen detection tech) and buying pressure came in, anonymous sellers would put these massive sell walls - like $100k+ total - and then pull them when the pressure died down. Sometimes within a span of only a few hours.
Could of course just be institutions offloading as they often do, though, for any number of reasons, at the best price they can. They see something they like better, or something they think will succeed sooner, they got called, or they don't like the company for whatever reason, etc
I just thought it was odd that they put up these huge walls if the goal was to lose shares at the best price possible, because at least to me it seemed like this trading activity was preventing a new higher share price from establishing itself and stabilizing.
