Anthony, who's HRZG? Noticed HRZG prevented MASH, LEHM and RAJA from walking the bid up on OMGA on several occassions. The most memorable occassion was at 13:55 when HRZG, showing 100 shares, parked himself at 10 13/16 on the ask and wouldn't budge while MASH was trying to walk up the bid. Seemed critical as that stopped OMGA's EOD rally and it fell from that point. Earlier at 12:47, it seemed MASH and HRZG had a mini battle with MASH being the only one at 10 1/2 bid and HRZG being the only one at 10 9/16 ask. It seems as if they were trying to "duke it out"... MASH wanting OMGA to go up while HRZG wanted it to go down. Either that or MASH and HRZG enjoy trading with each other as all kinds of trades flew at 10 1/2 and 10 9/16 with only MASH at the bid and HRZG at the ask. 21 straight trades went at 10 1/2, and then you got a block of trades at 10 9/16 then back and forth. Not sure if it was just me, but I got the sense that individuals weren't trading much, rather it seemed as if MM's were going against each other today (LEHM, RAJA and MASH long, HRZG and MHMY short) ... Fun to watch. Anthony, Is that often the case, where you get a bunch of MM's who take opposite positions in a stock? I often thought it was common for MM's on a stock to try to pull something colluding as a group. But in hindsight, when you have so many MM's in a stock, I guess it must be hard to get a consensus opinion going at any one time. ----- Not Howie

Tony good call on BFLY, a simple pump and dump news play. I have a good feeling that I will get out with gain on this one. (My previous 3 hasn't been so lucky though... OMGA, NXTR and VISX) Do you see gap up or down tomorrow? (BFLY) JON

VIFL UPDATE: the only thing I can attibute to todays rise is this article. Still looking... Death toll from tainted hot dogs rises to 20 March 2, 1999 Web posted at: 11:00 a.m. EST (1600 GMT) WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The death toll from tainted Sara Lee Corp hot dogs and lunch meat has risen to 20, with nearly 100 others sickened by the meat, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control said Monday. The outbreak of a rare strain of listeria bacteria has forced the U.S. Agriculture Department (USDA) to look at emergency measures, including possible warning labels on packages or stricter testing by meat plants. Listeria typically affects only infants, unborn babies, the elderly and others with weak immune systems. While less common than other forms of food-borne illness, listeria is more lethal and kills about 20 percent of consumers who fall ill. The USDA said it would soon issue a list of recommended practices that meat plants should adopt to reduce the risk of listeria in ready-to-eat products. Regulations to require plant processing changes -- such as mandatory testing or product warning labels -- must go through a formal agency rulemaking procedure that can take months. The American Meat Institute, which represents major meat processors, last week urged its members to better monitor potential environmental contamination, as well as investigate the use of irradiation to destroy bacteria in products. Illnesses linked to Bil-Mar and other brand-name products produced by Sara Lee were reported in 22 states, including New York, Florida, Illinois and Pennsylvania, the CDC said in a statement. A total of 20 deaths were blamed on the outbreak, and 97 illnesses, the CDC said. The agency had put the death toll at 16 earlier this month. The CDC recently theorized that the deadly outbreak may have been caused by construction dust from air conditioning repairs at the a Sara Lee plant. The tiny bacteria clings to drainpipes, plastic surfaces and even the spiral threads of screws. Sara Lee halted production at its hot dog plant in Zeeland, Michigan after USDA investigators linked contaminated food found in victims' refrigerators to the plant. In late December the company also recalled hot dogs and deli meats made at the plant. All the documented illnesses linked to the deadly strain of listeria were reported between August and mid-January, the CDC said. Recalled product packages bear the numbers EST P261 or EST 6911, and were sold under the brand names Ball Park, Bil Mar, Bryan Bunsize, Bryan 3-lb Club Pack, Grillmaster, Hygrade, Mr. Turkey, Sara Lee Deli Meat, and Sara Lee Home Roast brands.
