The answer is A

Remember also that large players often choose not to show their hands. I.E. they have mental buy and sell prices that they enter as and when the desired prices is reached, so don't read too much into the size of the bid and ask.

I know that yesterday was a tough time to get an answer, but would someone please try today? Thanks. Ken

Question of Fact TO ALL on this thread ... regarding Silicon Investor Real Time Quotes ...

Does the "size" number beside both the bid and ask prices mean ...

(A) the total # of shares being bid or asked at that price ... for example, 2 means 200 shares?

(B) the total # of bids or asks that there are at a particular time with no reference to the # of shares? ... for example, 2 means a total of two bids or two asks are on the table right now?

(C) something else entirely?

(D) is there an explanation of the above somewhere on SI that perhaps I have not seen?

Thanks ... Ken Wilson
