Apologies Bruce, I just meant that, at the moment I was posting, 109,000 shares, had traded. (now 138,000 shares)... and it seemed unusual to see that amount of activity on an ECN "exchange". The Island "book" is a decent place to watch the bid and ask movements if you do not have "Level II" quotes. I don't know how representative it is, but for higher volume stocks it seems to track NASDAQ fairly closely. For lower volume stocks like CKFR, it is not unusual to see NO activity there at all, based on my experience. isld.com Others more knowledgeable may want to add to this... Regards, JCC
