RE:RE:RE:weekend coffee morning - deep dive into ANON tradingGamble answer to your Question!
1 Identify Retail shareholder who is able to trade Anon! I can and anybody who has any interest in trading anonymously. Gernerally, there is not advantage for a retail shareholder. I have 2 brokers accounts one there is no option on their on-line order entry but I can call them and have it executed anonymously. The other house I use is because of the low interest charged on margin accounts and you just click a box on your OE form to indicated the order type as anonymous...
2. A naked short still has to appear as an order type ie short. There is as I said no short naked or otherwise on this stock. It is like $3000 so basically non existant.
3. Question 2 is the answer for 3. If there is no shorts on this stock at this moment I obviously am not short! I am not currently short PHD and have not been short PHD.
4. An increase in anonymous selling and or buying can be for many reasons. If they are relatively small order it is ofter just the market maker of the stock. Also, some houses that represent a high case load of high profile client actually show most of their orders as anonymous if not they would be easy to identify.
I have only one bit of advice for you stay in school if not get back in school!
