Depends, they need to know that there is a seller of size out there....and if that seller of size has their stock on margin or a price limit where they will exit, you may see certain types of funds target the stock, looking to force the liquidity out. However there's no guarantee that this will happen and or they will receive the stock.

We witnessed a bit of this during the GFC and a decent level of share price destruction when it played out. Since then many senior execs / staff members require sign off by the Board in order to lodge their stock on margin / geared facilities.

There are plenty of opportunistic hedge funds that if they get a sniff, will go after it. You can see this from time to time in the listed warrants that have pre-defined and published stop loss levels, however what's not knowing is how much volume is sitting in each product.
