Trading Range

Having watched the trading over the past two day, it appears someone (an entity) is liquidating a rather large position in ATH. The bids have been huge and the trading range has been very limited. The seller seems to be carefully liquidating their position without cratering the stock. They probably want to be out of their position by the end of the quarter. If this is indeed what is happening, who is doing the selling and, once they are finished, what will happen to the stock price? As for the first question - I don't know. But I think we all know the answer to the second question.  :)

Opposite: Sellers are selling to a buyer(s) who is accumulating and those 50M shares will be sold in a merger with MEG Energy and subsequent takeover by Cenovus as Heavy Oil will be short in the market for the foreseeable future. Investment bankers are gearing up for major transactions.

Proof of merger, please

The answer is the shorts are cleaning out before end of quarter. Not a very hard Nut to crack

any reference to Eric Nuttall..???
Comment by bonjovi501 on Mar 30, 2023 5:49pm
Not Eric as Nuttal is in love with ATH
Comment by Maxmoe on Mar 30, 2023 7:39pm
Yes we do all know the answer. As fantastical and entertaining as your allegation may be, I've heard it EVERY SINGLE MONTH since he bought in January of 2020. At 18 cents. No, he's not selling. Again. Yes, there is nobody else to point a finger at with a big block of stock. But this stock has traded 5 to 10 million shares almost every day for years. Let's review a few. March 15 ...more

I would  to know who is the broker of Nutall, any idea.
Comment by Maxmoe on Mar 31, 2023 10:03am
He uses every major, and most if not all, minor brokerage houses to execute his trades. And if he's leaving bread crumbs for other traders to try and front run him, he can use anonymous. Broker "01". 
Comment by Gringotts on Mar 30, 2023 8:52pm
I never said it was Nuttall. You have confused my post with those that have followed. I made no allegation - I said "appears", "someone (an entity)." You have made the allegation and this time you are dead wrong.  You provide many excellent posts and have made fine contributions to the board but please don't tell me what I have said. That is silly posting ... that ...more

Nope. As my friend judge Judy famously said on afternoon tv, "don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining". You knew exactly what you were alleging. Now you want to parse your words to backpedal? Nope. There is no other "entity" or "someone" with a large block. You know this. Regardless, there is no person or entity "carefully liquidating" "by ...more

Now I understand where you are coming from.  You take your wisdom from Judge Judy - Einstein, you are not.  I now understand why you are silly and think you are a mind reader.  All credibility lost.  Ignored.

The bids have been huge and the trading range has been very limited.   tell me if the bids are huge, how does this related to someone's liquidating their position in a stock .....

Almost 4MM traded so far today with no upward movement. Someone is making a well orchatrated move. We shall know shortly...
Comment by dandu1924 on Mar 31, 2023 12:29pm
This is pretty clear, somebody trying to keep down  the trade price  with  WTI  at $75.50. Something is broiled  with this kind of pattern.
Comment by dandu1924 on Mar 31, 2023 12:31pm
Sorry, I did mean " boiled " not broiled.
Comment by Maxmoe on Mar 31, 2023 12:44pm
Yeah,yeah. I've heard the same thing for 3 years all the way up from 11 cents. First one I recall was the "wall" put up at 20 cents. So, like every other imagined incident, there is no wall that will hold back the forces of the company fundamentals. Zero net debt. Huge cash flow. Very little capex required compared to typical producer stuck on a 20%, or more, production decline ...more
