hi hcm,
I'm sure I am wrong. I was trying to find out if the bid/ask size at close and during day was an indication of what was happening with that stock. I was following one that closed regularly at bid size 50 ask size 5. I asked around and came up with this. The bid size was the number of shares that investors wanted to buy at the bid price. The ask size was the number of shares investors wanted to sell at the ask. If that's a flawed analysis can you help me out ? Thanks, Bob
