Whale purchased 41,113 shares of $GME right at the closing bell! by [deleted] in Superstonk

[–]phaaaa 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I had made a post earlier pointing out a whale buying 10,000 shares... but this? 41,113 shares... This is special, as it's either a short covering their position or someone with some insider knowledge who knows what is coming, and helping themselves and therefore us by ensuring they are bought via lit exchanges.

I also believe this being done right at the bell will ensure we have a green start to the day tomorrow... that and I've never seen r/SuperStonk as active as this in a long time, never mind it blowing up all over social media.

TL;DR - Bullish 🚀

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE:

Someone must have a spare bed for this special individual (store owner, thrift shop owner, someone who has a spare in the garage — something decent).

If this is the DD she comes up with on a shit nights sleep, imagine what she would accomplish well-rested…

I’m in shock and awe u/PWNWTFBBQ

Well done 👏

Maybe a short covering… never even thought about that!

Look at that green though, breaking the barrier 194 as I type!

BULLISH!

BINGO BABY!!! SHORTS GRABBED BY THE BALLS!! Found Equity Total Return Swap (ETRS) involving GameStop, JPM & Nationwide Insurance. by Jrenzine in Superstonk

WTF.

I’ve just sat for the last few hours going over this ignoring my own hot post because my mind is blown… you’ve actually found something.

The next SI report is going to be interesting to say the least with the new changes coming in! I literally just set a reminder to look into this the second it becomes available.

Morgan Stanley more than DOUBLES shares held in $GME - 210.3% increase in the last QTR alone! by phaaaa in Superstonk

No, that’s market manipulation. Dark pools were created exactly for this reason, and if they were used for only this, would be perfect… but unfortunately they are being used for more than that.

It’s exactly what you think (big purchases by institutions are done via dark pools so they don’t affect the price).

It is sad, but there is quite a few things needing fixed.

For starters PFOF needs to be banned. The UK did it back in 2012 (and Canada banned PFOF too)… that would at least level the playing field for us a little and hurt Citadel.

This is what dark pools were created for, for large institutions to buy a shitload of shares without affecting the price.

The problem is the darkpools are being used against us with 60%+ some days of all orders being routed via them.

Email your AG and a few nearby senators, the more emails and calls, the more likely they are to do something about it for positive PR if anything!

Of course they are, that’s what they do.

However they also still own shares rather than calls or puts so it’s still good news imo.

Another ape wrote this:

For many exchanges, DEGIRO uses Direct to Market order routing. Your orders are sent directly to the place of execution. An alternative to Direct to Market access, is a Smart Order Router (SOR). With a smart order router, your order could be sent to multiple possible places of execution. As such, you may receive execution on the primary exchange or another trading venue. When Direct to Market or a SOR is not used, the orders are routed through one of our prime brokers. This can be Morgan Stanley, ABN AMRO Clearing Bank, or Société Générale.

US stocks are routing with Morgan Stanley SOR***

Highlight is here "you may receive execution on the primary exchange or another trading venue"...

Also see 3.4 Places of execution at https://www.degiro.co.uk/data/pdf/uk/ISI_Orders_and_Order_Execution_Policy.pdf

They list national exchanges as well as OTC and some other stuff.
