<<< It appears that they are working off a short term MACD trading philosophy and look for points during the trading day where the book is thin on the downside to implement their activity. >>> Mr. Zimmer, I am somewhat a naive player in the stock market. Your explanation about "short term MACD trading philosophy" will be appreciated as this will be my learning opportunity. <<< They have the ability to "box" a short position, first buying at lower levels, then selling short, completing the "box" at what they perceive to be a top, then "cutting the legs out" of the security by selling out their long position in a thin market. >>> Are you saying they are shorting the stock while holding long? Again, appreciate your explanations. Best Regards
