I’m ok for the sp to rise 4 cents every two weeks. Patience is required.



If as shown by JS, argonaut has run out of scrip, it’s obvious the beot are busy deploying their tools at the moment. We just have to watch. They start with a dump at open, then resort to drizzles such as this tiny trade volume
11:26:02 1290 shares sold at 11.5c for $148.00


They’re at work guys. We may have to wait another two weeks before we head north at 16. But who knows. I always think just one smsf can quickly change the tempo and beat the big guys at their own game



1.

Massive Buying or Selling Power

Large institutions can move markets by sheer volume:

• Buying large quantities of a stock can drive up the price (demand surge).
• Selling large quantities can crash the price (supply flood).
• This is especially effective in low-liquidity stocks where small changes in demand drastically impact prices.

2.

Algorithmic Trading / High-Frequency Trading (HFT)

• These firms use powerful algorithms to detect and exploit micro-inefficiencies in the market.
• They may front-run retail or slower institutional orders by milliseconds.
• They often make profits from small price differences that accumulate over thousands of trades.
