I'm noticing the same thing on Yahoo as well as Ebay. The bid/ask is nowhere near the last trade. Also the same with doubleclick. Think this is a sign of MMs buckling under the load? Let's hope they're being swamped by sell orders. :) ------------------ If you want to see a complete disconnect of last trade vs B/A look at flea-bay! I am not even sure where it is REALLY trading at!

If that disconnect is real, then FleaBay is heading for tank city. Anyone who invests in that pos, deserves to get a visit from RealMan.

I've been seeing that, too. It usually happens shortly after the open and again into the close. I suspect they are best B/A prices from different MM's so it flops all around as the lots get picked off and the market can move so fast the tape falls behind. 20 seconds is forever and a day for this pos. -ng- And putting in a market order you never know what will happen and if you put in limit orders the thing can run away from you so rapidly you can't change the limits fast enough. I closed out my fleabay this morning on the fall - so far it looks like a smart move. I suspect some joker will reiterate again and the day traders will run it up 15 points.
