Q: Hi, so, I know I can find out about insider trades on 5i or SEDI. But are there other resources to tell you if certain non insiders are buying big chunks of stock?
The last few days there has been quite a bit of buying on Sangoma, on very little news that I can see. It's great as the price is up quite a bit, but I'm intrigued to learn more but don't know where to look.
I suppose that may be the point though!
If nothing there, any thoughts on why sangoma is moving so much these days?

5i Research Answer:

If a trader is not an insider of a company, or if they do not own more than 10% of a company (5% in the US) they are not required to disclose their trading activity. Mutual funds disclose their positions regularly but only required by law to report twice a year, and this comes on a very delayed basis. STC is now up 47% YTD. Volume picked up on Friday, but was still only 125,000 shares. Not a huge $$ amount. Still, it was the most volume (daily) since late November. But the rest of this year has not seen that much activity, volume-wise. There were two block trades (44,000 and 49,000) yesterday that made up the majority of volume. But, for the week, the average trade size was only 519 shares, representing about $3,000. This 'implies' that the majority of trading is still retail investors, not institutions.
