I'm not sure it is relevant to anything but it was interesting. For instatnce MASH is owned by Charles Schwab and therefor handles all of Schwabs trades in this stock. It indicates there is some retail interest but MASH is also a big market maker in many stocks and has been for years.
Notice, also that Speer Leeds makes a market. Troster Singer is owned by Speer. Also Nite is very big in the stock. Back when the stock was bulliten board Ray traded the stock there. Ray was one of the original MM's at Southeast Securities, a firm that took a big position in the underwriting by Brooks, Hamburger.
Another point of interest is the decrease in volume from Wedbush. Lon's broker worked at Wedbush and they handled alot of company directed orders, and had a big retail interest. Of course Lon's broker, unfortunately died last year, a non-cancer TCLN related fatality.
And, finally, Mr. Winn. I bought 5000 shares. It cost me $150.00 to buy exactly what I wanted. I feel it was worth it not to worry about an order being filled. While I'm glad you are so concerned with my money it isn't often in life that one can get exactly what one wants, with no worry and only have to pay an additional .03 cents. For heavens sakes, Winn, I took my wife out to dinner last night. The Palm. 5 LB lobster, mediocre wine, lousy service. It cost a hell of alot more than $150.
It seems to me your priorities are alittle screwed up, but that's only my perspective. Here is a little more of my perspective. If this is a good investment the additional $150.00 I paid to get what I want won't matter. And if its a bad investment does it matter if I lose $5,150 or only $5,000? I don't think so.
And to all, HAPPY THANKSGIVING. |
