Someone with bucks decided to sell a bunch of shares of XOM today. They got the transaction through and posted it towards the end of the day. The seller was asking for $72.83 a share. Buyer(s) were found. Something more than 1.5 million shares changed hands. The stock traded in a manipulated manner most of the day. I believe this large transaction overhang was the reason. The stock seemed to pick up a bit in the after hours market. I hope this carries through into next week.
