If an institutional Investor (e.g. a Mutual Fund company!) wants to buy a bunch of stock, it is obvious that they CAN NOT simply log on to an order entry system and enter a single Market or Limit order, like a retail investor would. If they did, they would get horrible order execution (huge slippage) and/or unfilled orders, respectively. That is my theory based on my model of how the universe works :-) Your job for this question is to put together a persuasive argument either supporting or debunking my theory. You must include anecdotal and hearsay evidence gathered from the Internet and other sources. You must also include a brief profile (based on the evidence gathered) of the typical employee in charge of entering trades for institutions and typical rules and procedures they are bound to follow, if any.
