Question for all:

If you look at a live chart:

fast.quote.com

I notice bids at the "uptk" and "dwntk". Are these short sales?
why are some uptick and some downtick?

Why do 5000 block sales go through at the ask, and 1000 blocks at
the bid balance the 5000? Why doesn't the larger volume at the ask
send the stock even higher? Sometimes I see 50,000 blocks at the
ask, and the price isn't sent higher....trying to understand this...

Thanks in advance,

Jim
