That's a contradiction. It's not the wisdom of the crowds if only a few hundred people are really looking at things. The whole point of that expression is that you need a crowd, to avoid groupthink, capture etc

And the active market is very sensitive. Especially if someone is so confident that they are willing to use drastically leveraged positions.
