I thought they were just the middle man and would raise or lower the bid/ask based on the order flow at the time. But I guess they have lines of intelligence in more ways than just company news leaks. BTW 122,500 is rather a specific number to be used as an example!

Off topic - crazy story on MIDL, no? Almost as bad as the GIFS story last year, if you remember.

Alan,
As long as those 122,500 aren't yours then everything will be OK. :o)
But then again, you wouldn't want to be out of half of your position now would you.? < big grin >
