Jedi master has spoken! INKT boune off from 50sma, 20sma, lower bb 9sma, turn up stochs from below 20. The breakout helps too. Report dates YHOO 4/7 ATHM & INKT 4/15 so looks like pre-earnings run has started. EXDS reports 4/21, splits 4/12 so I guess you will hold the shares till the earnings. I think the market is now in the process of Q end, April funds flush run up, and this should last till 4/9 and the SPX should top out near 1350-60. Now to decide between INKT, DCLK, EXDS calls. nice.. very nice.. AMZN went VERTical And EXDS yelled YHOOO. $BKX n/a n/a n/a n/a $COMP +46.98 + 3009.46S $COMPX +69.52 - 2434.80S $DOT n/a n/a n/a n/a $IIX n/a n/a n/a n/a $INDU n/a n/a n/a n/a $NDX +69.80 - 2083.35 $OEX n/a n/a n/a n/a $OSX n/a n/a n/a n/a $SOX n/a n/a n/a n/a $SPX n/a n/a n/a n/a $TICK n/a n/a n/a n/a $TRIN n/a n/a n/a n/a $TYX n/a n/a n/a n/a ABOV +11 9/16 + 89 1/2 2610900 4554286 AMAT +3 11/16 + 61 1/16 8478100 -16322083 AMZN +16 3/16 + 139 7/8 8050000 97409646 AOL +9 + 126 1/8 23527100 226677315 ATHM +10 1/4 + 146 1/4 3457500 5730982 BLSI -1/16 - 6 138900 11554 BMCS +1 1/4 + 35 3/16 4718500 18944069 CDNWD CNET -1 1/8 + 97 3/8 1906300 661975 COMS -11/16 + 23 3/4 9428300 -16884029 COOL +1/8 + 19 1/2 1191600 116901 COVD +1 3/4 + 63 199000 -93460 CPQ +1/16 + 31 1/2 16207900 22183510 CPWR +1 5/16 + 23 3/8 5593100 5318276 CTIX +1 1/8 - 29 5/8 482300 475158 DCLK +4 7/8 + 184 3/4 3236700 24397384 DELL -3/8 + 38 1/8 40861000 35203860 EBAY +14 - 159 3/8 3093000 2472078 EFAX +1 7/16 + 20 9/16 2397000 42856 EGGS - 20 1/8 2748300 -1030550 ENMD +7/8 + 22 1/4 164900 5205 ERTS +1 3/4 + 49 1/4 1432600 5073381 EXDS +28 1/4 + 150 28675105 FAXX + 8 7/16 200100 -779663 FLAS +15/16 + 36 392200 -20302 FORE +5/16 - 18 7/16 5556400 580843 GNET +2 3/8 + 144 676700 -1027859 GTW -2 3/8 - 63 13/16 2132400 1490106 INKT +7 3/4 - 75 1/4 1209200 2058518 INSP +7 1/8 - 89 1247400 -1602915 INTC -1 5/16 - 117 15/16 15090700 35362278 ITRA -1 7/16 - 35 5/8 453000 -1335157 IVIL -4 7/8 - 75 437900 -4637873 LCOS +15/16 + 92 5/8 1952200 2662703 MALL + 34 5/16 119500 193007 MKTW +1 3/4 + 68 1/2 69700 1159784 MLTX +2 5/8 - 34 1/8 721000 1663991 MSFT +8 11/16 + 179 15/16 27487100 166032195 NETA +1 15/16 + 31 3147300 4164255 NSOL -8 15/16 - 101 1/16 5640200 -17356929 NVDC +1/4 - 14 409800 212821 ONSL -7/8 - 36 1/8 688000 -1880114 ONXS -1 7/8 - 28 1/8 653000 -1621136 PAGE +3/32 + 4 9/32 1322600 773515 PER -11/16 + 29 3/4 359200 -842513 PRGY +15/16 + 37 11/16 637300 829675 PSFT -1/2 - 16 5/16 3154500 -4258046 PWCC +1/4 - 11 1/16 89400 -153896 RNWK +4 3/8 - 119 1194700 1556663 RXSD -15/16 + 19 5/8 1080300 -2681836 SEEK +4 + 81 1/8 1971900 9471700 SPLN +2 1/4 + 46 1/8 867700 -2769937 TGLO +3 3/8 + 52 3/8 362900 2713375 TMCS +7/8 - 35 1/8 262400 -803503 UBID +1 1/2 - 76 1/2 340300 2645293 VERT +20 1/2 - 108 1/2 1309200 14209654 VIGN +8 1/2 - 71 5/8 318900 5932646 VLOG -1/8 - 4 3/16 89600 -37530 VVUS -1/8 - 3 3/4 392600 -71503 WCAP +3 13/16 + 19 3/16 1260400 3189654 WEBT +2 1/16 + 45 385900 605172 XCIT +8 7/16 - 133 5/16 2218100 12311007 XMCM +2 1/8 + 71 1/8 513400 1364674 YHOO +18 1/2 - 179 8141300 71412992

I saw an interesting article recently about block sizes with regards to institutions. I'll have to dig it up on one of the day trading threads. Basically the article said that the larger players have their hands tied in today's market and are actually buying in quantity broken down into retail sized looking blocks. I think you might find the article interesting. I did.

>>Responses ONEM I revisited the tick by tick and 1 minute charts and didn't see any patterned fund buys or any large block buying. The only fund involvement I saw was on the selling side. << You are assuming an IPO feeding frenzy to look like regular trading. In the space of 5-10 secnds the price cna move 1-2 points back and forth. A fund can put up a buy for 20000 shares and it can get filled with 100 shares 200 times.. You are not going to see any kind of block buys then. I saw the institutions push the price up from 40. There was some dumps, but nothing close to the large buys. In fact when NETA drooped the other day I saw Schwab comming in with 30-40k buy bids which were quickly taken over by 200-300 share sells. its the funniest thing to see, kinda like a giant shark with its mouth open and all the little fish just jump in and the shark becomes smaller and smaller till it goes away.
