Doug,

As I feared, this signal "failed" (by one tick so far). It's showing some strength now though.
In a most unfelinic manner, I'm tempted to follow the general market here and save my powder for some clear sign of the bottom.
Like they say, there's good trades and bad trades, losing trades and winning trades, and they don't always pair up the way you'd think. I've taken some bad hits on good trades, and am a little gunshy.

Doug,

Just like I was afraid of: another 1.8m at the bid, five minutes ago. Someone huge is getting out of this, and when he finishes, we might just have a viable signal.

SFAM--EDIT

Doug,

Sorry, I missed this part of your post earlier.
SFAM is an official, card-carrying quasi-cat today, its 15th day in the quasi-house.
Let's break out the quasi-hats and quasi-hooters and put on a somewhat restrained up-crawl: Nothing older than the 12-year, me lad.

Ivan

PS: GCW became an Este-cat yesterday.

Whoever's doing the bailing's still bailing. Many big blocks, all at the bid.
Once again, new low, greater than the last three days' volume (including yesterday, which is saying a LOT), and ...
This one seems destined to leap up without a proper signal. (i.e., the seller will suddenly stop flooding the supply side and the moonlaunch will happen "spontaneously." If so, I'll break cat-ranks and follow a good non-signal uptrend, then come back here to boast if all goes well.
SBUX did the nasty today. Now, it's doing its end-of-day drag.

MCK says MEOW

Doug,

Hit a new low of 3/16, then got swamped with buyers instantly--the first blocks I've seen go off at the ask in two days of massive selling. Th-a-a-t's the sign of the cat.
Got filled at 29 1/4 as the bell rang, even though the spread was 1/4x3/8. Now th-a-a-a-t's the NYSE for you. Clean and orderly markets.
"NASDAQ brokers--doing life ... for the next 100 years." Fu(#ing criminals.
Wow, I'm in a cat. Who'd'a thunkit?
