Gottfried, re: block trades... > if I see trade 22 1/4 375,000 block I assume it was an institution. They are supposed to have superior knowledge. Once I see news of a block trade - it's already HISTORY. How does that affect FUTURE stock prices - the real concern once the news is out? Your assumption that institutions have "superior knowledge" is one that is probably widely shared by many investors/traders. But is that a valid assumption? Is there any evidence that institutional decisions are any better than the little guy's? Perhaps. But I'm not aware of it. I don't think anyone has a corner on the market. >If lots of institutions are buying, I expect price to trend up. Now I worry about them taking a profit all at the same time, causing a large drop in price. Here again, once you get the news - either way - it's too late to have caught the move, right? And that's assuming you know how to interpret the news. ---BTW, I'm totally clueless as to how to interpret block trade news. If you know any more than I do, then my hat's off to you. :-) >My way of looking at block trades is probably simplistic and naive. I agree. But is there any better way of looking at it? I doubt it. My way of looking at it is even worse than yours, I'm sure! >How's the garage door? Too complex to contemplate. Bizarre. > Would this be adequate for housing your Omega Trade Station? Yes - maybe. For now, it's my wallpaper. Thanks! Ice
