Mark, When I mentioned AZTC and the interesting behavior, my understanding is that the MM's try to move the price where there will be the most 'action'. It appeared that the spread remained 1/16 without any posted buyers and a large block sitting on the bid. These lull periods would be ended with a flurry of buys at the bid price without ever touching the block. This happened several times during the day and if I am not mistaken...that particular block never was executed. I believe the MM was MASH. I can usually understand what was going on after the day ends and I examine the tape, but I am still confused on this one. Has anyone seen this type of behavior before? Charles

Trader, When I do not feel right about the market, I become a coward, I go flat until I see some trend or direction. My sense here is Flat, and that is where I am going. Will exit all positions at the best point, and will not enter until it feels better. May not even trade the futures for a while unless I see a good position. Let them shake the tree, for coward Jack will be on the ground looking to see what falls out!! Coward, Jack!!
