A question about institutions, Robert (or anyone else?):

Can institutions acquire shares without them being publicly crossed over as a trade? I read something in Cramer's column (TheStreet.com) that intimated that a large institution would go to a Market Maker to get the shares needed, if they wanted to establish a large position.
(Similarly, if they needed to unload a chunk.)

If this is the case, could the MMs then 'shake the tree' to acquire shares and then just transfer title over, with it only showing up later when we see the institution as holding the shares?

The answer to this seems important at this juncture, if we are to avoid misreading the tea leaves....

Thanks in advance.

PS Does anyone know of a 'tell-all' book written about trading?
