One way to determine this is to see whether the big volume occurs at the bid or at the ask. Bloomberg gives you volume at price. Both Bridge and Bloomberg give you a trade and quote history so you can track this. Good luck! Joe

Does anyone care to defend this rampant irresponsibility on the part of the press?: LFT: "someone" said they offered comfortably above 19B US Press 1: LFT reports that the offer was comfortably above 19B. US Press n: (optional: Company sources said) ATT's offer was comfortly above 19B. Note that the first report of the rumor, June 5, was at a time when AOL's market cap closer to 17B. Did the "someone" use the 19B figure or just "AOL's current market cap or was the 19B figure "added" by the LFT. This syllogism leads me to a new proof that Santa Claus exists. I will call this new rule of inference, Modus Aolus Example: Premise: Someone said "Santa Claus exists" Therefore.. Conclusion: Santa Claus exists.
