Just out of interest am I getting this wrong or is it market maker's/computers hoovering up or selling shares.
I have a small pot of self managed shares just to keep me occupied and I usually buy and sell in about 5k blocks due to dealing costs about £9 a trade plus .5pc stamp duty but looking at snapshops of share trades on lse and elsewhere you see trades for a few 10's or 100's of pounds that don't seem to make sense/seem viable to make a profit.
I've priced 1/2 trades i.e. about £2.5k and on slow shares can get a better price rather than bumping the cost up or down.
Where am I going wrong ? Should I just give up whilst I'm ahead and take it easy ?

The far right column is the value of trades in UK £''s

Why do we think this is? FB drop is fairly obvious given all the current fiasco re Zuckerburg but Amazon less so, Bezos hit $150bn only last week and it seemed to be going only one way.
Profit taking, market bearish sentiment in general and fears we're long overdue a largish prolonged correction in global equity, rather than any real issues with the valuation of the big faangs, in my opinion. Although they are all overvalued. speedyguy said:

king tt faced buckets!!! I got into ZIOC at a shade under 15p yonks ago and had practically kissed goodbye to ~30% of it until this week. It crept back into the black so I set a stop at 15.6p as the rise looked to be based on nothing (to me) so at least I could bow out with some dignity if it tanked. Dropped to 15.58p, stop kicked in, it rocketed to 18p! I repeat, f
