FWIW,
Some older data that I just came across that I found rather
interesting. This is the top 8 market makers in WinStar,
and the block trade volume they handled during May and then the
tumultuous June.
That Montgomery handled 42% of the block volume during June makes me
want to go "hummm". More volume than the next seven combined. I
wonder if they were buyers or sellers?
I probably shouldn't speculate. Just wondering if someone knew there
was no truth to the rumors or even had reason to propagate the rumors.
