[quote=John McClane][quote=Sedai]Where do you monitor who is selling?[/quote]I usually read the SEC disclosure reports to see who inside the company is selling and how much.

"In Forms 3, 4 and 5, investors watch how ownership and purchases are shifted by the company's officers and directors.

Form 3, the initial filing, tells the ownership amounts.
Form 4 identifies the changes in ownership.
Form 5 is an annual summary of Form 4 and includes any information that should have been reported."

But you can also go to CNN and see a break down of the institutional groups that are buying/selling.

[quote=Chypmunk]Currently trying to finalise all the minor details for my new business venture - Shout Dating. It's very much like Speed Dating but with the addition of barriers to keep everyone at least two metres apart.

Already have the advertising strapline worked out:
"Even in these troubled times dating doesn't have to be an impersonal bore - come and have a scream with Shout Dating!".

Probably the biggest hurdle yet to overcome is gauging the depth of the disinfectant plunge pools between stations - obviously we don't want too many people of a shorter stature to drown but we do also have a responsibility to ensure everyone is fully sanitised before moving on.

[quote=Sedai]Where do you monitor who is selling?

Also: In scary news: I am watching the Governor's address here in MA, live, and he has a health expert speak, who begins outlining the cast tracing system they want to implement. The lady starts talking, and all sorts of Orwellian shit starts coming out, about monitoring people's phones in real time, and location tracing them for days and then linking them to other nearby phones and then tracing those people in real time. The media people start hammering her for it and they end up cutting away to some other random news show for 5 minutes, then cutting back to the Gov address, and the lady is gone.

I want pie now :([/quote]

[quote=John McClane]And don’t get me started on BlackBerry. For the last two years it has seen steady gains for the 2 weeks before earnings reports and then tanks back down the day after they release earnings. Even when the earnings are great!

But if you look to see who is selling and how them you see that a small number of rich dudes are making easy money off it.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]Like sometimes a PR will send a stock flying high when it's some real shit news. And other times it's great news and it falls.

It makes ZERO sense unless you know how the game is rigged. This is why I'm always the bank when I play Monopoly: interest free loans, baby![/quote]

[quote=John McClane]I try to take advantage when I can, but I am broke AF. Otherwise, I'd be in here bragging about my 30-40% returns.

I can pick the winners pretty regularly. Just gotta know what you're looking for on the charts. And actually have the time to follow the charts.[/quote]
