elmer, yes, it's all over the place. 300k at 42 3/8? A volume adjustment? The "tweaks" at the end of the day last friday still bothers me. I'll try to get an answer from the CBOE. steve

EP and Thread <I'm seeing 42 3/8s> Today's AMD action was interesting to watch -- I found an explanation for the downward drift that seems reasonable from the Yahoo board (yeah, I was bored but thought there might be something rational there): Shaking out the weak before the weekend classical specialist manipulation. The advantage specialist has is they see where the stop limits are and they go after them. Moranic to set stop limits so within a couple of points of trading range on a manipulated stock like AMD. [Post #117270 by Marquette_1991] I spoke with a broker friend who also thought this was reasonable. The big after hours trades don't make much sense though -- overall there were a million shares in after hours. Same broker said that there is a lot of off-exchange activity but am still interested in any other thoughts. Not that the market necessarily makes sense. The trades listed by quote.com indicated some of the big ones as 'sldl' in the info column. I couldn't find an explanation for this abbreviation on line. Any ideas? I was able to shuffle a little more into AMD today below 40. No details since I didn't report it "real-time" but I hadn't expected today's lull. I liked the recovery to 40 whatever but am wondering what the afterhours activity may imply given the volume and the strange day. PT
