RE: Last trades before haltHow did these traders know there was news coming out?
Do they have spies at the news release services tipping them off?
Are there news release people making trades before releasing the news?
Maybe news release people all make a million dollars a year by buying ahead of the general public investors.
Like the assay people who see the results before anybody else.
Or maybe somebody else somewhere in the chain?
Looks like these traders didn't know what the news was in this case (since not obviously good news), just that there was news coming.
