Here's a pretty read. Watch your wallets. Message 13936736 Another item: I notice that more than usual, there are lots prints above the current market, sometimes in size. Most of the time the stock goes there, but not always. I guess institutional buyers are not too picky about that 1/8 or 1/4. Or is it something else, along the lines of the recent discussion about dealer markups. How to interpret these blasts of outside sales is the tricky part, as they sometimes mark the END of the move and not the start of one.

LPS5, thank you. Having lurked here for the past eight months, today for the first time I thought I could contribute something of value. I have to say that this thread has been the most valuable resource that I have come across in my still rather short trading career that started last fall and I'd like to thank all long-time contributors for sharing their knowledge here. It has helped me avoid many of the pitfalls a new trader faces and I believe has considerably shortened my path to profitability even though it seems that some lessons you just have to learn the hard way before they really sink in.
