RE: Oh Well...icebergs"
When large participants, such as institutional investors, need to buyand sell large amounts of securities for their portfolios, they candivide their large orders into smaller parts so that the publicsees only a small portion of the order at a time--just as the 'tipof the iceberg' is the only visible portion of a huge mass of ice. Byhiding its large size, the iceberg order reduces the price movementscaused by substantial changes in a stock's supply and demand."
