No Liquidity to go higher, combined with denial. I was worried that we might have
renewed liquidity. It appears that we will have an attitude adjustment instead -- from
denial to selling by institutions.


GST,

You have called it well so far.

GST,

<It appears that we will have an attitude adjustment instead -- from denial to selling by institutions. >

Today, in amzn, there was not one large block selling. There were about 200K shares large block buying (or maybe short cover).

What pitch are the Japanese going to throw tonight ?
