Hal, This Thompson info doesn't seem to mean much does it? I mean you would expect the stock to drop in a huge way with such a large sell interest. Remember all of the buy interest's earlier? The stock just kept going down and down. My understanding is that sell and buy interest message's were seldom used. They are supposed to be used to cross large blocks of stock, but they don't commit the institution to a deal. But now that Thompson's is publishing them their use has gone up. Anyone visiting the Yahoo board know that some are making a big deal of this information. Could be someone is putting message's in opposite of their intended position to scare up a few shares. That is put in a sell message hoping to scare some people into selling and buy them up. After all very few of these messages seem to get filled.
