Paul: The liquidity in Nasdaq stocks is often an illusion. Volume can easily be pumped up to create the mirage of liquidity as the same stock changes hands a couple of times on way from seller to buyer. I remember reading a study which indicated that many Nasdaq stocks actully only trade about 30% of their indicated volume as market makers etc get between buy and ask. (I believe it was in Forbes a year or so back) At any rate, the illusion will become more so for insanely valued stocks as their will be few buyers once momentum players lose interest. Presstek was a good example of this. (all this imho)
