Auric, I don't have level 2, and I was home from work today so I was able to get Streamer running at Datek. My question is this- I was watching ENVY and PVN (two shorts I'm underwater on), and the bid/ask volume was always heavily in favor of the ask (ie 10x50 or 10x100). So lots of people wanted to sell, and not much buying interest. Explains the anemic volume in the stocks. Are the MM's trying to support these stocks without bringing the price down or what gives? There was virtually no buying pressure. Did today being options expiration have much to do with this? Also, shouldn't these start to drift lower with no volume? Guess the cards are really stacked against us shorters. Thanks p.s. tried to get BFLY and SRCM @Etrade today- no luck.
