So why do I think something is happening? The strong performance we have seen this week has been on back of a change in the balance of supply and demand. The nr 1 broker on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, SEB (ENS), have bought around 100k shares. Why is that intresting you might think… well, first of all its very rare to see SEB active in C-rad, their clientbase is not daytraders or shortterm punters, their clients are institutions and wealthy individuals. If you look at the pattern, they started on Tuesday the 14th of July and bought around 50k shares. First they tried to be passive and waited on the bidside for someone to hit them but it didnt happen so after lunchtime they ran out of patience and started to lift offers. The stock closed up a couple of percent at 17,3kr. The day after they took it easy and bought only small, but yesterday and today they bought another 50k shares using the same strategy. Most of the time when C-rad have started to get some momentum the sellers have woken up and pushed it down, but not this time. Could be just the fact that almost everyone in Sweden is on vaccation, or that the holders, for once, want to sit thight and wait for good news. I would not be surprised if the buyer this week is a classic institutional investor that is buying a small position to see what happens. If it starts to outperform they might start building a longterm position and that is exactly what we want! 100k shares is 1,8m sek, for a fund of lets say 1bn this is just scaps, its 0,18% of AUM, so if they decid to take the position up to lets say 1% that equals 500k shares. That would take the game to a new level, those shares would then dissapere from the freefloat and that would be nice. So why would an institutional investor dip their toes in C-rad?
