12/5/2009 11:27:49 AM I don't think M4M is referring to the inside officers of a company controlling a stock, he's talking about the ultra wealthy (1%) of the population that owns so much wealth, estimates often ranging from 50% or more of the stock market, plus massive amounts of the bond and real estate markets. Not to mention the trillions of dollars in sovereign wealth funds around the world that can be used to push key bell-weather stocks up or down, which tend to bring similar stocks along with them. If you're not familiar with the wealth distribution in this country and how much is concentrated in a surprisingly few hands, read Kevin Phillips' book, Wealth and Democracy: A Political History of the American Rich. On a slightly different topic, here's an interesting excerpt from an interview with Clive Corcoran, posted on his website, a link to which was recently posted by Mystiq, about how large institutions now unload large positions in ways that make it more difficult to detect. Clive Corcoran, 2007 …. But one of the things that has happened as a result of the great participation of hedge funds, proprietary trading desks and so on is that there is now something called algorithmic trading, and this in a nutshell, is being implemented by large institutions. Let’s say for example that a big fund, a mutual fund, wants to say, unload a million shares in General Motors. The problem as we all know, is that if you go into the market and announce you’re going to sell a million shares of something that’s trading at $35 let’s say, immediately the price is going to start getting away on you, it’s going to start slipping. There’ll be front running, there’ll be other people who can see your intentions, and the price will get away from you. So, algorithmic trading is a development that’s been coming into the markets over the last three to five years to assist the large institutions with such trades – again, its progress has been remarkable. There are again estimates that the number of trades each day that are algorithmic in nature is in the majority – it’s more than 50%. Algorithmic trading essentially means that machines – there’s no actual human involved really, other than the initial decision to, let’s say, sell a million shares – but the actual execution of that trade might take place over the course of a day or two, it depends on what the institution wants, but it will certainly be extended over time, and it will be broken up, sliced and diced, is the way it’s put, broken up into smaller units. If the trade is basically a sell there could even be bit of buying in-between, just to confuse the issue. And this will, in a sense, produce new kinds of volume behaviour that the old techniques no longer really recognise. If you’ve got lots and lots of small trades taking place, including some which are contrary to the principle direction of the trade, which are designed to obscure the intent, the volume – especially on an intra-day basis, if you’re an intra-day trader doing intra-day scanning, your recognition patterns that are looking for certain types of volume behaviour, are going to be tricked, and that of course is the whole point of algorithmic trading. |

12/5/2009 2:02:42 PM Another site I try to keep digs on is tickerspy.com Here you can keep an eye on the top performing funds and what they're adding and their holdings as well as what they're discarding. Trendscanner is right, you will start to see a lot of window dressing now as funds rush to buy the best quarter performers to change to drapes for year end performance stats. Keep an eye on what they are dumping. If the stock is solid but a quarter laggard they are likely to pick it back up come Jan. Here you will see stocks that have underperformed the quarter get strong insider buying torwards year end, then massive institutional buying. |

12/6/2009 1:47:10 PM The scan result from Crimsonmind and whatstrading.com picked up BBD for a huge vol CALL spike on Friday. It is 150:1 for Dec Call !! Anybody think this is a legit buy for CALLs the coming Monday ? Technically, macd has crossed upward and price has broken the $22 resistance lately. |
