RE: Wolvertonmegaman,
They seem to pick up the small, odd lots, almost always 500 or fewer shares. They seem to have been doing it for years. I don't believe it's anything "subversive", possible arrangement with the co.? Someone with more knowledge (almost anyone) than me might know more. I also noticed similar actions with a couple of other cos. I own/follow. It's almost always smaller/boutique brokerages that do it.
