What is the meaning of Block trade?

When at least 10, 000 shares of stock or bonds valued at $200, 000 or more are bought or sold in a single transaction, it is called a' Block trade'. Institutional investors, including mutual funds and pension funds, typically trade in this volume, and most individual investors do not.
