Kathy, this kind of reasoning leads me to believe that you are looking at clouds and assigning shape to them. First, for every buyer there is a seller, whether the buyer is the specialist or the seller is the specialist for NYSE issues makes little difference. The same is true for NASD issues because virtually all brokerages that I know of insist that their traders do not hold trading positions overnight. So you end up with the curious proposition that if there is more trading when the stock is moving up there is positive money flow, while when the stock is moving down there is less (or in the opposite direction). And this is based on the odder assumption that somehow you can tell from patterns. Another thing to think about is the fact that the money flow into or out of a company is only a function of the shares the compnay itself buys and sells. That is, all of the trading in the world doesn't change the equity capital of a company. Please don't take this personally, but if all of the energy devoted to analysis of trading patterns were unleashed on meaningful metrics your rewards would be much greater. TTFN, CTC
