Since there are no secrets, you must know, or be able to find out.

Waiting with bated breath.

The trades themselves are public information...

You'll see "10,000 shares bought/sold" or "10,000 call options bought"

But to find out WHO bought them, you need subpoena power against the broker

It appeared from your reply that you were giving information to Ossoff, or were helping us mere mortals understand how Ossoff knows not whereof he speaks.

Given that he is quoted as saying "I don't know WHO placed those trades..." [emphasis supplied], it seems from this most recent post of yours that you are in full agreement with him.

But your subject-line-only first response appears to be explaining the reality to the rest of the benighted world, and to be saying that Ossoff is just posturing, or doesn't know the simple fact that you know.

How else is a person to read that?

You are now, however, saying we of course don't know who; just that the trades were made.

But that's not something that the SEC needs to find out (per Ossoff). That's all over the media.

I am apparently missing the import of your initial response, even though I have studied it with great care.

Not sure what he's talking about, but I very much like how he's stating it.

It was supposedly an investment firm. Were they licensed? Firms that issue stock are required to file annual (10-K) and quarterly (10-Q) reports. They don't have the people to check everything even when a Dem is in office because the Repubs always cut the budgets of government agencies.
