RE: bakken I agree, this ridiculous talk all the time on all these boards about such and such bank or brokerage house being the big spender is crazy. I trade with TD and when I buy 50-100,000 shares of something does that mean TD is pushing this stock or does it mean an individual customer likes this stock. It is such crazy talk when you see people promote this line of thinking. Unless you see official statements go out from TD or RBC, etc telling their customers to buy such and such stock, there is no push going on by one of these brokerage houses, it is just every day trading by customers. Enough of the garbage and stick to the facts, it would make these boards so much more informative and enjoyabel to use. Just my 1.5 cents.
