Indeed they are brokers.
Retail investors cannot put through trades under $500 AUD.
At least they're now in multiples of 150-170 shares. Last week they were 15 -16 shares at a tme.
Shenanigans Indeed.
Someone wants in, but on their terms and not the market's unfortunately. Once they get their fill it'll be interesting to see where this goes.
The only thing small investors can do is top up at the lower prices that the bots are inducing.
