Thanks for the very good reply to my conjecture. (kathy)
I also saw Edamo's, Lee's, and Arthur's replies... Your analogy is wonderful! - (that my interpretation is like assigning shapes to cloud formations. BTW, is it possible to say that certain shapes - cloud formations - are possible only under certain meteorological conditions?)

Yes, for every buyer there is a seller, yet a stock price can move up a lot on light volume and then tumble a little on heavy volume. My best analogy was to think of $flow as a weighted average of the volume with minute-by-minute price.
I didn't even think about companys' trades of its own shares.

I will check out Lee's hyperlink to a definition.

But for my lack of understanding the machinations, I still agree with Arthur that $flow is telling us something. Just the sheer numbers
(negative 609 million is a lot of money) - - but -- quite right that my energies could be better spent on other kinds of research.
Your reply was so kind and I appreciate information and lovely tone.

Well, I'll be returning to my real job soon enough and will also return to more traditional approaches to selecting investment.
Thanks!!
Kathy O.
