MO did a block trade today for 1,250,000 shares after the close. what kind of institutions would be investing so heavy? isn't this to big to be a mutual fund? who is most likely the contra side in this trade? individual investors who loosen their shares during the day while the institution accumualtes or is it likely another large institution willing to fade the position (seems unlikely to me)? steve can you please comment on how such large trades are done. maybe you can give an example (or multiple ones) of how Yamner has handled large institutional orders in the past if possible. i am sure we would all appreciate it. still learning, bazooka
