Is there a way to tell the MM volume from the rest? Or I should say, is there a way to extrapolate into an estimate?

Anyways I agree with you. If I'm in a stock I generally don't stop loss unless I'm trying to speculate on the day and have to be out of the loop for a while.

I sort of thought the end-of-the-day dips we've been seeing have been from the traders. Iwas glad to hear you say that.

In a way this is good because it means a lot more volume and emotion. This is when the stock starts to pull away from the fundamentals and begins to trade on "future potential." I'm thinking this is about where we are now. A lot of sleeping investors in IFMX are going to wake up and get excited.

frank... stop loss orders are useful... in fact essential... I had 5000 amat shares I'd bought at 26... I was going on holiday last august... put in a stop loss at 100... I felt pretty fine when the stock traded down to 25 (50 split adjusted).
