But who is actually controlling the trade? It occurs to me that
the specialists may from time to time allow the little guy to
control the market. An example would be the public's penchant for
"buying on the dips". After a selloff, the specialists would supply
as much of an asset to the public as they want, driving the price
up somewhat. The public is thus in control.
Then the specialists begin selling large blocks, taking a few
points relative to when they sold to the public, and driving prices
down. Now the specialists are driving the trade and the trend
continues down. The public gets stuck with these assets as prices
fall.
So, if you control large blocks of an asset and understand the
psychology of the public, I imagine you could do more than just "be
on the other side of a trade." You could control the trade and
drive the market.
