I been using the stock market for quite some time now and gotten used to the fact that my stocks (because of its size) are usually the last to be sold regardless of when I posted up for sale. Despite of that, this is the first time my stock takes this long to sell. I usually just suck it up and not say anything but this time the way the stocks are being bought up feels a bit off to me.
Here's some background: I posted about 80b worth of HRG 34 days ago (biggest 2 blocks are 30b and 40b) in market. Not much being bought the first 20 or so days which is expected. Things start to pick up on the 25th days I think when my 30b blocks starts being bought up. Today my 30b block is finally gone and my 40b block is beginning to sell.
2 things that feels off to me from this situation:
#1. I believe I've heard it somewhere a long time ago that regardless of how big your stock block is, after a certain amount of time it would no longer get jump in queue from other people posting smaller blocks. If that fact is still true then there's something wrong here as my queue for this stock goes from #24 to #29 within the last 24hr. If that fact is true and I simply did not reach that "certain amount of time" where it no longer gets jump, then I think that need adjusting as it's a bit ridiculous for someone posting their shares today get bought up before mine does. If that fact is simply false then I think there needs to be a cap put in place so stocks can sell at a reasonable amount of time. It also needs to be made known for players like me. Stocks are not fun to play when you have to basically figure out what the stocks will be at more than a month from now to know if you can make a profit or not.
#2. The rate in which my stocks get bought up is surprisingly slow despite multiple stock inserts from other stocks which get bought up. What I used to see in the past is that whenever a stock insert gets bought up, systems would buy a good chunk of my shares that I've posted past 20+ days. That doesn't happen in this particular case. I see my 30b block get chipped little by little (hundreds of events in the 0-10mil range with only a handful at bb size to around 2b) the past week til it's gone. Now the same is starting to happen for my 40b block. At this rate I would assume that block will be on market for probably another 2 weeks (prob longer now as forecast just change to poor) before it's completely gone.
What is more puzzling (and annoying) during all this is that my other stocks I posted in market 20+ days after HRG got sold in their predicted time frame, some earlier. My GRN bb was sold 2 days after posting while forecast was poor (highly doubt it was player bought), yet not 1 share of my HRG got bought in that same time while its forecast was good. I do understand and fully agree that big stock blocks should be in the end of the queue. However, in cases like this where I'm force to stay in the end for a month while seeing others just jumping in front of me endlessly, I can't help but feel helpless and defeated. Regardless of how rare you might say this situation is, I think no one should be in this situation at all.
