<When I say small order pushes price what I'm referring to is the tendency for large amounts of small orders to push price around far more than block orders. While a block order might raise or lower price instantaneously, the price reverts as soon as the order is crossed. Sometimes big blocks are executed with little or no concession in price. While a 100 share order during a low volume lull can change price. I'm sure you've seen this occur. >

It all depends on who does the block and why... you saw plenty of block orders in the .com's on their way from hundreds to zero and they sped up the move, not slowed it... cause the MM's didn't want to hold them.
