Oh I realize that, I was just speaking hypothetically.. $10M dumped into one stock will surely make it move but I wasnt necessairly saying that..
One thing I dont really like about these games is the ability to buy millions of shares of a company at a specific price, or the ability to buy more shares than daily volume should typically allow..
Well yea for the real low priced stocks I'd say that's a problem.. However the big board stocks seem to be fairly accurate because I've been checking the volume as I made my buys & sales to see if it would have been a legit real life transaction.
Take my sell @ 1:56PM today of 20k shares of FRE.
You can't get a accurate price of each share bought or sold by the charts because they average the two prices, but the volume from 1:54 was 137,502 and at 2:00 it was 286,043.. So that's a hell of a lot of shares bought and sold in that 6 mins,
so you have to assume they would have been able to sell 20k shares.
