RE: closing price. For stocks traded on the NYSE, the official closing price for the NYSE would be the last trade of the day on the NYSE. But a lot of these stocks are also traded on third markets, NASDAQ, whatever, and at after-hours trading. So if AOL or Yahoo or whatever shows APM's close today at 10 1/8, that is not the closing price on the NYSE (4 pm EST is official closing time for NYSE), but the after-hours closing price. Nit-picky details, but I don't think the contest rules take these different closing price rules/definitions into account. Larry

Looking at the Time/Sales APM closed at 16:00 @ 11 5/16 for 400 shares. Then the Bid dropped to 10 7/8 to 10 1/2 to 11 5/16.. No trades. It is intresting that the Bid Size went up to 18300 from 100 for 11 5/16 ask 8300 shares for 11 3/8. Oh there was an MM trick, A NAS trade for 1000 shares @ 10 1/8. Strange since this is a NYSE stock. I think the NAS MM's dropped the price to scare people into selling them shares at tomorrow's open at the cheap to cover their nakid short positions.
