RE:Someone dumped a block of a millionLooks like there may have been a dump of more than 1.1 million. If so that normally would have driven the share prices lower but looks like it was bought and the sp still increased. The last time volume was over 1 million was May 7th where the sp dropped 21 cents on the day.
I'm not sure if the price of oil's decline for the day was responsible or perhaps someone getting caught "spoofing" - a form of unlawful market manipulation whereby traders place sell-side orders they don't intend to fill, in order to put downward pressure on the price of a security so they can purchase it at an artificially low price.
At any rate something occurred, it worked out sp wise
