RE:RE:Trading today so farI guess when if you are short 1,000,000 shares and bring the price down over $.50 in a day. You made on paper over $500,000 that day. All this and all you had to do was sell 25,000 shares on the downtick. My guess is 90% of the trades are computer driven. I believe Instinet was not long stock position because of the way most of the stock was sold 100 shares at a time.
I just pulled a few examples of yesterday’s trading. Many times a bid was hit and the exact second later 100 shares dropped the price immediately. Sellers on the right and Buy on left. Instinet was yesterday’s house who knows what house they will use in the future.
