LG: From Favor's website:

What does "print" and "intraday" mean?

Callers to the Short-Term Traders Hotline updates will hear Jerry use the
terms "on a print basis" and "intraday" regularly. The following is an
explanation of those terms:

Print

A print number is every number that the Dow trades at from the market's
open until the close. Each time the Dow ticks up 5 points, down 100 points
or remains briefly unchanged is a "print number". CNBC shows these
numbers throughout the market day. If or when the Dow reaches the
number mentioned in the hotline message, that is the "print" number.

Intraday

The intraday number is a theoretical number; you will never see the Dow
actually trade at this number. Intraday numbers represent what the high or
low would have been if all the Dow stocks hit their highs and lows for the
day, at the same time. CNBC does not provide this number. Some nice
brokerage firms do. Theoretical numbers are an important part of many
market forecasting indicators.
