Rande, At the risk of being a pain, and feel free to answer when the market is closed (today particularly) or not at all, but I was interested in how much weight (if any) you give to large block trades. Do they influence your trading, do you watch time & sales closely? Thanks in advance, btw, hope you are right about the bottom on ATHM, unlike you, unfortunately I chose to hold it all week, seemed like the week lasted forever. And while I'm here, I'd like to plug IIJI, this and Softbank should do well as the internet evolves in Japan. I'd elaborate but there's plenty of info on the IIJI thread for those who care. TIA Kanetsu

Rande Is- re:China devaluation... Hi Rande, I understand you are bottom feeding for the brokerages... so have I, but I have not fed yet ;) The China devaluation you mentioned... can you provide some links or further detail as I have not heard anything although I would not be surprised and I am not sure if this means another golbal-currency meltdown-hedge-fund-shift-bailthem-out-we-pay-for-it like last year. I do think one thing that may happen next week is the unofficial end of summer (after labor day) and that may signal a return of employees and volume, although I have heard that Sept/October have been horrible months. Hopefully, the really nice haircut almost all of the internet and high techs have gotten will mitigate this. It would be nice to also have some industry news instead of economic news to light up the high tech sector... the last one was broadband at the beginning of this year. It seems the momentum in tech has been lost, the stories are old, and we need some new ones to light up jaded investors who say, "oh yeah, they made a mouse smarter using gene splicing ain't that cool, excuse me while I call my computer at the North Pole using my cell phone." This following of economic data is not only getting old, man it is just not very exiciting. I mean we need a get-any-movie-made-over-the-internet kinda story or a get-paid-to-watch-your-pc-instead-of-your-tv or staring-at-a-pc-screen-all-day-increases-your-IQ-by-10% kinda story. What stories would you like to see? Just my opinion. Jon :)
