Paul:

I spent fourteen years as a NASDAQ trader. Your comment about "level 2" is incorrect. It is impossible to really tell the buyers from the sellers. I, for one, would sit on the bid with others to create the appearance of strenght in a stock and then send in another mkt. maker to hit all the bids, thus getting execution and liquidity.

An investor using level 2 is kinda' like a brown-belt in karate: he knows just enough to enter a bar on Fri. night, pick a fight and get his butt kicked.......no offense.

Don't want to be negative, or be the raspberry seed in the cogwheel of progress here, -- I am pro LGND --but I'm not as optimistic as you are in inferring long run price moves from daily numbers... I'd rather put my faith in the science.
