If you are referring to my post about anonymous from the TSX, I think you have not understood it. Anonymous is not a trading house. I asked myself the same question about anonymity using a broker, but have no answer, nor do I have one about who and what is gained. I also indicated that I am not too concerned as an investor. Almost all this is out of the little man's control. I have saved what the TSX sent me about anonymous sales in case I change my mind. As anonymous was explained to me, any investor may asked that the brokerage house he uses not be revealed. What the TSX wrote says much the same thing. It is the broker's trading number that is not posted, so any broker can be anonymous. That is why when some posters say anonymous is buying or selling, it is not correct. It is implying that anonymous is a broker. They are not. I hope this helps.
