year to date:
SBSH 48,691,027 is 1st
GSCO 43,574,364 is 2nd
BTAB 37,592,993 is 3rd
MSCO 34,901,046 is 4th.
After some data analysis (guessing), up to August, GSCO seems to be a major buyer for CIEN for the first 6 months of the year. Price went from ~40-80. MSCO also seems to be a buyer. SBSH and MLCO are definitely top two sellers during July and August. If SBSH and MLCO are slowing down on the selling and GSCO is more on the ASK, this stock will trend up from here. Now if GSCO is on the bid, look out below, it still has lots and lots of shares, unless it sold most of it in Sept. |
