| May 29, 2018 at 17:32 | comment | added | Enrique | @Grade'Eh'Bacon in crypto they talk a lot bout "whales" moving the market. They say whales can sell a lot to push down the price, generate panic and then buy again at lower price. Also they can put a psychological wall on the order book to (and they remove those entries when the price is close). I was thinking if this is a strategy used in stocks too. | |

Right now, one that I have one has a B/A spread of 46 cents and I'm the best bid and the best ask. They can take me out for the gain and/or I'll take more at a better price. Should I get taken out, I'll just roll the proceeds into a different issue with a similar yield. It's small potatoes but it bumps up the yield if it hits. | |

| May 29, 2018 at 16:01 | comment | added | Bob Baerker | You're familiar with the concept of daily volume and $$ traded per minute so look at each stock to determine what "a lot" is. As for the strategies of moving price, net buying volume raises price and net selling volume lowers price. | |
| May 29, 2018 at 15:47 | comment | added | Enrique | So you said is a conspiracie? At least in liquid stocks? But anyway, what are the strategies used to move the price? Buy or sell a lot? And how much is "a lot" for a liquid market? | |
