Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm a very small investor just trying to figure out the game at this point.

Where did you find the bid/ask volume?

Thanks, this is one of the more educational threads on here.

Keiko, Ron & Paula. Keiko is right in that the bid/ask sizes are an indicator. to do it right requires expensive access to premium data services (AKA "Level II), but since I have been using the cheap approach, it has had a partial correlation to price changes.

Another source for not only the BID/ASK but some news entries that are sometimes missed at quote.yahoo.com is

newsalert.com

only downside is from my observing, they don't update very frequently - perhaps hourly. Scott

And once again, thanks to Sir K for huge contributions (now if we could just translate some respect to another thread we share)

yes...I'm still cornfused...today's bid size is 67 X 25 ...but we are low vol and price is lower...from your explanation it would follow price should be going up and much better vol than 38k????? Ron
