<<.....odd #s such as the current 1.500 Bid, 1.625 Ask, 5x47 argues for the sum. >> Bob - I believe it is the sum. I have placed limit orders for 500 shares (at the bid) and watched the bid size immediately increase by 5 (500 shares). That would not necessarily happen, but if the were operating in the mode of containing the price, it most likely would. By the way, the current bid x ask is 1 9/16 x 1 5/8 - bid x ask size is 100 x 47. Roger

Bob - WITHOUT A DOUBT, it is the sum of all the orders. I have been placing buy orders at 1 19/32, just to see what would happen. Sure enough, when I placed a buy order for 1,500 shares, it went from a bid size of 5 (500 shares) to 20 (2,000 shares). It went unfilled and I cancelled it. The bid size immediately went down to 5. I ended up just buying 500 shares at market (1 5/8). It looks like perhaps this thing is about to spring. What do you think? Roger
