Large block after hours

[gaf63]

Interesting and unusual to see a block of 11,000 shs of FFH trade at 16:04:30 $5 above closing price.  

Most days 100-200 shares trade after 1600 and are usually included in the days trade.

 

FFH buying in shares or another entity opening/increasing a position at close??

Where do you find such block trade data, especially for after hour trades? Is it available on a basic site like yahoo or google, or do you need to use a brokerage service?

In the streamer at Scottrade, there is an option for a time and sale  box.  Time of trade , size and price for stock of choice.

Gosh darn it...I TOLD my broker to make my purchase DURING market hours, not AFTER...this is precisely the kind of commotion I wanted to avoid.  ;)

Ok Crip, I'll don't tell, but I think Sanjeev heard us and he is out to lunch  ;)

Also spike in price today.

 

Maybe the remaining FFH CDS book is beginning to look more attractive:

I am glad to see Fairfax share price rebounding. IMO, it is very important since I believe that the acquisition of their remaining stake in Odyssey Re will require some Fairfax stock. The price was starting to head down dangerously.
