RE:RE:RE:SGY was walked down for a block salesBrokers have different margin requirements. Margin calls are taking place in the entire sector. Stocks well above $5.00 are being dumped out of over leveraged & oil concentrated portfolios as the buying power of the accounts are eroded as oil stocks continue to lose big chunk of their values. Some of the selling of SGY would be margin related.
But I doubt that the sale of $2,450,000 shares by National to GMP & cross of 463300 shares was margin call. You do not just go & sell a large block of about 2.5m million shares without prior arrangements & fixing a price.
Stock may have been weak & traded lower but a dive to $4.35 with a drop of $.66 was result of this large block sales. National had to take out lot of bids to get the price down so low.
So national was executing one large margain call. I doubt it.
There are some gaps in my information about SGY as I did not follow this stock very closly. Have filped it a few times.
Long veiw business combination was at 35% premium and 38 million SGY shares were issued. This block sale could be related to Long view. There could be more shares coming to the market. Does anyone know if there was a holding period. Some large Long view shareholders would have some price cushion becasue of 35 % premium & would not hesitate to sell.
