Hi Janice - Could you tell if any of those block trades Friday was 100,000 shares which passed at $9 1/2 on a down tick with about five minutes to go before the close? This would indicate to me that there was atleast one institutional trader selling at the close Friday.

I discovered the following site which provides interday charts (other than Lombard). What is interesting to watch from time to time are the huge blocks especially when it is portfolio dressing time. If you look at the daily graph for Friday, you will see the block I described above. Choose the "1-minute" chart option and you will see the trade.

Finally, here is another site that provides "the count" of the actual trades through out the day. You can then calculate the average size per trade over time (which I do not do) to see if the "on-balance" volume is increasing or decreasing. By charting this number over time and perhaps putting the time series to a moving average, you can see if it begins to increase.

By the way, this information is also here for any of those other Novell shareholders that need to do something while we wait for this thing to move up again. Looking for that January effect to kick in soon....January 1997 NOT January 1998.
