O/T...

If I could respectfully interject here... I believe the context of the original discussion was what is a buy and what is a sell in the U.S. Stock Markets, not in the real estate market or anywhere else for that matter.

Since very little stock exchanges hands directly from one retail investor to another, the buy and the sell is dictated and orchestrated by the Specialist, or Market Maker, and consequently so is the direction of the stock.

The confusion here for some (I think) seems to lie in the issue of who is really buying and who is really selling in regards to what influences the direction of the price of a particular issue of stock.

I hope I've got my thinking cap screwed on straight.<g> Regardless it's been a very enlightening discussion... thanks to the participants.

Best Regards,

JM
