big volume......means nothing

Today, TD crossed a big block of 13,875,000 shares at $.115.  It looks exciting, as if there is a big buyer in the market...but it means nothing.  On 12/28/12, TD crossed its initial big block of 13,875,000 (the exact same amount of shares), at $.11.

Whats it mean? To me, in means likely nothing.  Perhaps, it is the manipulation games that the big guys play. More likely, it is a tax wash.  the guy crosses a big block right before year end to someone else at TD. He has a pre agreed buy back price after new year (so as to be able to take the stock loss), where the guy ("a friend") who bought at $.11, then sells at $.115, for a profit of $.005 or $70,000 for holding the stock for three weeks.  A 5% return on his investment for less than one months time.  The seller gets a BIG tax loss, no doubt exceeding $70,000, but could be as much as $1,500,000 or more, who knows.

I know this much, it has nothing to do with LFD itself.  For progress on LFD we wait and wait.....

To buy back the stock you need to wait 30 days  to claim the loss, which in this case is very close. However there is one thing the persone who buy back the stock still have confidence that the stock will rise again. Unless we have a clear signal that LFD indeed has something ...more

another block of 13,875,000 crossed today.  very strange. the third cross of identical size by the same brokerage, TD. doubt it, but it could be that existing management is getting new management positioned in the company. the existing guys keep some of there stock and sell some of their cheap stock to the new management that is going to vend in a very valuable asset, and the stock is going ...more
