Jeff: I dont have level 2 screen. By the end of the day it will fall down more. MM are holding as much as they can. They cannot maintain the market with such an avalanche. Therefore all they do is to understand and unwind how best they can do. Lots of unwinding need to be done due to 30s and higher calls too.

Regards

Kumar

I'm looking at level II using a 28.8 modem and the MM screen is lagging the time and sales windows at times (which is really abnormal), so in essence they are swatting at flies with the lights turned down.
Big blocks were more balanced earlier. Now more 10k trades at the bid than at the ask. Goldman Sach at the ask quite a bit now.

Market Makers are forced to buy at the bid, they adjust their prices such when they are building an invetory like today they will eventually be able to sell at a higher price. Over the next week. As sell pressure decreases the market makers will start raising bid and asks so that there inventory in now making them money. The key is getting in sync with the MM.

Good Luck
