Volume seemed to have picked up dramatically today. Can any traders give some insight? Something must be brewing

Thanks Markbelluk, the last few days this has been up and down like a yo yo!!

[markbelluk] 19/3/2021 10:11

fyi

its triple witching friday ! Most stocks just dropped back into auction

Another amazing Trading op

[scepticalinvestor] 19/3/2021 07:59

All of the above imo, would not surprise me.

These shorters are either very clever or there is a massive market manipulation going on with banks, brokers and fund management organisations all in cahoots!It seems they move in unison.

Gap up this morning and a significant gap down tomorrow to retest 450 levels. As for us longer term holders, this wave down should represent an opportunity but timing has to be right and one has to be patient.

With Micro's Vertica emerging as key cloud, big data and AI player, Millenium is navigating the river against the current. Last time they were forced to swiftly unload their ~2% loosing shorting position at a loss. It's all just history repeating itself.

Millennium upped their short again yesterday to 0.88% - with this in mind, stellar performance today, especially as the US Tech 100 is well down on the day thus far. ;-)

Let us hope and pray that they don’t burn, but instead lose lots of cash, their short position looks a bit premature as the Adrs closed approximately 3% higher than London close. Let us hope that they end up chasing an ambulance at least tomorrow and Friday as the Market sentiment looks positive for at least the next two days.

I agree markbell. I think they've lost a pretty penny running up to ex-divi and is trying to make some money back in the short term before the next trading update is due. I've used it to top up nicely. Anything under a fiver is still a bargain I would say.

[markbelluk] 17/3/2021 17:32

its the timing of these increases that has me very suspicious, and now the frequency

And I mean that in a positive way

[dr knowledge] 17/3/2021 17:15

Millennium have increased their short - now 0.74% - brave but still love to see them burn. ;-)

[scepticalinvestor] 17/3/2021 16:33

i can see this hitting the 420s if Powells speech is not well received but have more powder if it does...

[scepticalinvestor] 17/3/2021 16:32

added at a smidge under 470

[watfordhornet] 17/3/2021 10:44

Have I missed something. What has happened today to cause drop?

[scepticalinvestor] 17/3/2021 09:31

perhaps they are trying to recoup their substantial losses?

[markbelluk] 17/3/2021 08:36

I guess they must see it as a window of opportunity between dividends, no need to cover and off the back of the patent case

[dr knowledge] 17/3/2021 08:27

Interesting timing. I guess their logic is that we are now in a lull re anticipated news flow. That said, there continues to be a number of large trades reported post close and across the pond Renaissance Technologies (who are no fools) have doubled their holdings last couple of months.

[markbelluk] 17/3/2021 08:22

Yea they've been at MCRO since Jan 2017 (up to 2% short at one point!)

Keep buying and burn them I say

[dr knowledge] 17/3/2021 08:12

Interesting. As others reduce, we have a new shorter in the form of Millennium International Management LP, in at 0.62%. Brave move. ;-)

Vertica & Dell :

“Building our partnership between Vertica and ECS enables our joint analytics customers to deliver a flexible and efficient architecture by separating compute and storage,” said John Shirley, Vice President of Unstructured Storage Product Management at Dell.

[scepticalinvestor] 16/3/2021 08:32

Decent start

[purchaseatthetop] 16/3/2021 08:29

The data seems to show that the Amazon RNS has moved the floor from 425p up to around 480p. That is excellent. Less volatility for traders and easier on our mental health.

[stoxx67] 16/3/2021 04:17

interesting alex, jw ..... many thanks.

[markbelluk] 15/3/2021 09:51
