i read your post to bob regarding a high ratio of sells to buys. unfortunately altough i have a good understanding of finance and economics, i have a rather poor knowledge of the inner market workings.

how do buy and sells get recorded? if an market maker sells 1 share of his own inventory to the public, does that one share shwo up as a buy and 1 share as a sell. i guess what i am asking is since each transaction has a buyer and a seller, how do we see more sells than buys or vice-versa.
