Re: Over 20 million shares and entering into power hour....

[Charlie_Chan]

Yes, over 20 Million shares traded but have a look at the brokerage house positions and with the exceptions of Scotia on the Buy, and TD on the Sell, there is mostly sucking and blowing going on between the Brokerages. Most Brokerages have been busy but their net positions have barely changed 1 iota.

Looks like a short-term short and cover all on the same day.
