RE: Charlie, have you been noting this? OT Good Morning RY. Not only have I noted the large % of volume on the Alternative Trading Systems, I have also experienced it personally on a couple of my recent trades.
I have noticed in the past that if I sold 10,000 shares of XYZ Company that 8,000 shares may have been executed through the TSX and 2,000 hares were executed at the exact same time through Alpha. In the past few weeks I have noticed that all of my executed trades occurred through the non-transparent (to Retail Investors) Alpha System. This is almost criminal as there is no way that the Retail segment can influence the day to day share price of a stock like EPO.
There is another ominous thing that is happening that has a huge negative impact on the day to day share price of EPO. It is called Naked Short Selling. I am 100% certain that this has been occuring on a massive scale with EPO. There are a couple of ingredients that make EPO ideally suited for Naked Short selling (Large float etc). This is not peculiar to EPO as it is happening on a large scale to another stock that I own called GWG. There was an excellent post about Naked Short Selling as to the effect to GWG posted this morning. I would suggest that anyone interested should read the link below and mentally replace the symbol GWG with EPO.
