Pete & Gary, I hate to barge into your discussions on block-trades but contrary to what most think on the SI; there is no such thing as buy/sell block trade. All these trades are made within institutions bypassing the MM. Under the new rules, thanks to Arthur Levitt, even when you place an order between the bid and asked your b/a is reflected and you end up trading with another individual or an institution. If you want to watch the tape and see which way the stock is going immediately; just watch the consequently tradede 1000 share blocks. If there is 10 dealers offering stock @24 1/4, and they see 5 1000 share blocks traded one after the other; thinking they would be the next one to be hit, they will up their offer to 24 5/16. I hope this helps, Orhan
