WEEKLY LIQUIDITY NEWS UP DATE Monday, July 18, 2000 Stock market liquidity boomed last week to $15.8 billion. Flows into all equity funds spiked over the five days ended last Thursday to an estimated $17.1 billion, one of the biggest five day flows since earlier this year. The new offering calendar popped to $3.5 billion last week. So far this year, foreigners have spent a whopping $75 billion in buying US public companies.On the other hand foreign outfits have raised $22 billion here in the US via selling American Depository Receipts. From an overall liquidity point of view, during the 2Q of 2000 (including the first two weeks of July) if it weren't for foreigners, the US trading float of shares would have soared by $50 billion, instead of just $12.2 billion. Margin debt in June at all NYSE member firms -- which includes margin debt on NASDAQ stocks -- rose $6.5 billion, or 2.7% to $247.2 billion from $240.7 at the end of May. Withheld income tax collections rose to $48.2 billion over the first eight business days of July ending July 13, a 12.2% gain over the first eight days of July 1999. Bottom Line: We stay neutral. We are still concerned about the historic trend of slowing equity fund flows starting during the second half of July and continuing until September. We will be more bullish if tax collection growth resumes at a double digit pace. If it grows by only 7% or so, then watch out.

I sit in amazement. Watching 'Spin the Bid.' On the Island. Every day. UnBelievable. How many Ways can you chop and Dice 1000 shares bid in a minute. It goes on all day! I understand trying to create a perception. I really do.... I don't have a problem with it. --->>IT'S JUST A FLASH DANCE....A GAME OF SPIN THE BID....<<--- I'm just questioning if Technically it can be considered a firm bid if it's shown for .3 seconds.... and the time for the photons of light to travel, and all that jazz,,, technically gives you about .006 seconds in order to react....theoretically,,,, if you were sitting with your finger on the button and you knew how much volume they were going to flash (at any given instant)... you could hit it..... that's assuming you knew the price....but if you don't know the price and they have some scheme to chop and dice the numbers in infinite numbers of ways down to the fourth decimal place....what the hell are you supposed to do...... i don't consider it a firm bid if it's flashed for .3 seconds.....that is just trying to create a perception..... that is RAW BLATANT STEERMANURE....It kind of gets old everyday....Watch it on ARBA and try to hit the bid some day...LOL.
