Hans, With L2 you are one up on me....ggg I like to refer to my Island Book to get a feel for buying and selling pressure (true, Island Book is only a partial representation of buying and selling interest, but it gives me a good feel anyway) Haven't been watching KLAC so I can't comment on what you saw. One point I might make is to be careful giving too much weight to what you see on those bids and asks...those are too easily and commonly manipulated IMO... This is the best I can do as far as an opinion on KLAC...I think you are fine on that one for now (if LONG!): home.earthlink.net Best of luck, Eichler

First - NASDAQ posted mkt sizes are not reliable - at all. They play video games - you get them on the phone and you hear "got bids (or offers - depending on your order) ahead of you" or "it traded" and then it doesn't print. Second - the old axiom is that "stocks trade to size" - which is counter intuitive - but that is the saying. How much truth there are in any of those cliches (e.g. "markets climb a wall of worry") is debatable. td
