Hi Hot,

Please excuse my stupidity then.

I was off the unfortunate impression that transparency and basic economics and the mkt was supply & demand not manipulation and accretion by insignificant parcels to maximise outcomes for a select few?
DEFINITION of 'Accretive'

The process of accretion, which is the growth or increase by gradual addition, in finance and general nomenclature. An acquisition is considered accretive if it adds to earnings per share.

So, what u r saying is these buyers / sellers are trading in 9, 10, 20 or whatever shares at a time as apparent "odd lots" in gradual addition to their holdings (of a whole 9, 10, 20 etc shares) to maximise the outcome for clients....so...would that not be manipulating the SP to achieve that then by holding the price down via p*ssy parcels to accumulate and therefore "maximise" said outcome?

No-one was speaking about "full volume" just purely a more level playing field in a supposedly "open mkt" of minimum trades or ID's or $ value to provide better transparency.

Anyway, you appear to know what it's all about so thank you for enlightening me. Off to do some work.....have a good one and thx for sharing.
