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?



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.

As I said before, I think you are good people, even though we disagree a lot. That being said, I read your posts with an open mind.

As for dark pools, do you think manipulation is likely by running trades thru them considering they are extremely unregulated and invisible to most?

If so, is it feasible that the trades passed thru dark pool can easily be hidden in regards to pricing? Wouldn't that explain how inflow outweighs outflow, yet the price drops?

Lastly, wouldn't it be prudent, if WE truly want a free market, to do away with dark pools, prevent market makers from also having financial interest in a stock, and further regulate brokers who except huge amounts of money from market makers to pass trades thru them? Isn't that the prevailing thought of why Robinhood really stopped the buying of GME and AMC back in January? Me and you could sell any amount of those shares, but we were limited to buying a total of 5. If I can sell 10000 shares, who was buying them?
