REGARDING MONTH END MANEUVERS...

The only comment I will make regarding those statements is that any such activity is
considered a manipulative act ("walking" down a stock or purposefully trying to
'mark' stocks) and the SEC would not take such actions lightly.

Does it happen? I don't know, however, FUNDS do what is loosely called 'window
dressing' for their quarter ending books all the time. The difference is funds are
almost ALWAYS buying stock to move the price higher. If any MM's are doing such
activity they would have to sell stocks at the cheaper prices they are marking so for
'true believers' this really should be a buying opportunity. I have no comment either
way as to whether this does or does not legitimately happen because the only way to
tell would be to actually SEE the positions of those firms. In any event, as a
TRADER if I thought such activity was taking place I personally would not want to
touch any such stock that appeared to be in the process of going lower at month's end.
Just my opinion.

All the best Diz,
