It is hard if not impossible ...What does this mean? It is hard if not impossible to say. It all depends on exactly who and what was behind the transaction. Considering that this is the end of the quarter the odds are one of the Mutual Funds or one or more of MNI's brain dead institutional holders are adjusting their portfolio's so they don't have to disclose to shareholders that they own it. <BR/><BR/>People don't really know what stocks their mutual funds are holding on any day except for their report dates. Leading up to that time and immediately after, a Mutual Fund is free to adjust their portfolios however they wish. <BR/><BR/>The last thing an actively managed Mutual Fund wants to do is show shareholders that they hold a lemon like MNI so they unload it before the report date and stock up on best performing stocks. They then report that they hold the good stocks when they were actually holding the loser for several months. It is called, "Dressing Up" for obvious reasons. <BR/><BR/>I doubt seriously that anyone entered a huge short at this time. I don't think they could borrow the shares. <BR/><BR/>What is most significant in my opinion is that MNI hit the .50 level again and there was not a rash of short covering. That is really bad news for MNI because the floor just got lowered to probably .40 cents. On the brighter side though, fair value of McClatchy is probably closer to .20 cents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-75611371751144070202009-03-31T15:35:00.000-07:002009-03-31T15:35:00.000-07:003:16 Can you explain a little more?

If it was committed by a 5% shareholder there will be a SEC filing within a few days. This was likely part of an unwinding that started yesterday as sometimes it takes awhile to unload large positions. <BR/><BR/>I have had occasion where I got into a stock on a Monday and it took until Thursday to get out.
