August...going back to the archives, huh? Tipping a hat...I am not in the position of showing anything more than I want to a market maker. It is their decision to do the trade or not. With market makers that we have good relationships with, I dont want to hurt them because that just ruins the relationship and they are increasing the liquidity beyond the current inside market anyway....but my focus is on MY clients' best interest. I think it usually works out well...if I would be hurting any market maker that gives us an AUTO system, I'd do the business 'away'. Who did buying and selling? very difficult and impossible to figure out in real time. I believe the nasd.com has the nasdaqtrader.com which offers stats on the most active firms, but outside of disclosures whena party acquires a certain size, there is no other way I know where such info is ascertainable. I'm on vacation, on the laptop in St.Thomas...just got done playing tennis with the wifey and just checking in...do me a favor and report those same questions next week...my pleasure to answer them in detail. Happy Holidays! Steve
