I’m going to ask a stupid question that I’d really like Slackster to answer.

I keep seeing stuff posted in various places about hedge funds covering using technicality terms in dark pool trading delaying price changes by up to 20 days. So the real value of the stock is higher, but it gives the appearance of a sell off, which in turn makes people sell, which lowers the current price. Again, I don’t know enough about all this stuff, and I suspect there are some shenanigans occurring, but this seems absurdly far fetched.

Is this even possible?

Don't hold your breath for a straight answer.

Several who post here, are blinded on how the real market works. They think everything is on the up and up, but the veil really got lifted back in January, and a whole bunch of really smart people have been lifting if further.

I won't answer your question, because you didn't ask me. But I will say that you should do you own homework, draw your own conclusions, and not rely on what people post in this thread. That advice refers to me as well.

Start by just using search engines and see what comes up when you put in dark pool trading. I never heard of it until a few months ago myself, but it is real, and very unregulated.

The short answer is no. The long answer is no.

Covering in dark looks isn’t giving the appearance of a sell off. Dark pool orders can be executed in private, but that transaction doesn’t have anything to do with the stock selling off on the exchange.

Like many of the things with AMC, people on these vlogs know just enough to be dangerous. Some kernels of truth are spun into these elaborate conspiracies.

Anyway, good day Friday for the longs. Mondays have been strong since January, so hopefully it continues.
