Sweet Mr. Big, I saw you posting on SQST. And you know I trust your basic instincts and know your record. Ironically the CEO was on CNBC after the market. I must say that I was impressed and I have the hard scrutiny.. So far anyone that I notice that impresses me for some reason generally has turned out to be a big money maker no matter what. LBRT, SWCM, VRSN...now SQST.....I think even though bar is a bit closed on low side and may take some consolidation (hard to say) He was very confident in the way I like to see it. He said one competitor is that CHDX? (is that that one?) you know who I mean...chemdex or something. BUT this was the key besides the solid confidence (he was in this field forever already) I liked was this tidbit (I look for tidbits)---he said what is happening is he is getting hugely pushed by those who want to buy and do business with him to hurry up and get it more going (you know the time consumingness of it) and he just can't get it going fast enough for all the buyers..... THAT is the kind of thing that interests me....$$$ A. btw on watley it just says: bid 2 ask 7 does that mean supposidly more people are wanting to sell right then? thanks darlin

That is correct but when watching L2 you need to be careful for those head fakes when the ask is stacked and the bids look weak cause more often than not this wall of worry quickly evaporates (with the hot stocks). Mr. Big, I'm not sure that I'm understanding what you mean here. Don't have L2 (yet anyway <G>), so I need to ask, by the 'bids look weak' do you mean they've dropped the bid, to hopefully induce selling so they can pick up shares to then sell? Or...there aren't many mm's on the bid so it indicates they just want to sell shares, taking the stock price higher? If the ask is 'stacked' I assume you mean most of the mm's are close to or the same (?) as far as the inside ask? So they have shares to sell and all want in on it? Or...they just want to sell them as high as possible and buy 'em back cheaper when the 'hot stock' drops? ('Cause they really don't have enough in inventory and know they'll make lotsa $$ when they 'cover' cheaper?) What do you mean by 'the wall of worry' here...and that it 'evaporates'...? When you see this - ask stacked and weak bids - it indicates the stock will (most likely) proceed higher? Sorry if these are dumb questions and thanks in advance for your response!
