The Anonymous MysteryAogee, your trade I am 100 percent certain happened at the Alpha Exchange. Go to alphatradingsystems.com to see the orders and it can help you to follow what happened to your trade.
One is not just 'anonymous'. There was a law put in around 2006 ish to allow investors/traders to have the right to hide their name.
I could be wrong, but I believe it actually costs money to trade under the 'anonymous' heading. It doesn't just happen.
So any anonymous is actually wanting to be so because you have to register.
As far as the Joe thing. He is clearly not all the anonymous. Today, did not feel like Joe to me. Wasn't his signature at all.
Also, I don't believe he even has any at Pathways to liquidate right now.
I think he is down to his 40s and even with ridiculous tax write-offs he can't break even on his 40s at 20.
I have a guess, but I admit to you that it is just a guess, but I believe that Anoymous is HSBC a lot of the time. Here is why I say so. HSBC use to buy this company by the boatload. HSBC was the Koreans according to the departed Eric. The Koreans were very interested, but they have not made a trade here in ages. It has to be 4 months at least.
Now 4 months to not trade or sell a share when you have had a lot is a bit unusual. You either add to a big position or you dump it. I believe that the Koreans (HSBC) have been dumping under 'anonymous'.
It is just a guess, but it's my best guess, because Eric has liquidated his position, Joe is taking a break, but a big holder in in HSBC has disappeared, so logic tells me they are the other anonymous.
Something has to account for about 10-15 million other anonymous shares through the last month or two.
