Am I missing something here? MarkC Yes, IMO. The fact that we traded over 17 million.

Mark The one thing that I disagree with you on is that well.... the mm's just would not do that. We all know that the mm's are nice guys and want to look out for the little guy to. In a word the mm's are just to nice to do something like that:-) :-)dawgy

<<Am I missing something here?>> I don't know...maybe I am and maybe this is a good learning point for me. Let me see if I have this right...when people go long (assume high volume), demand for a stock is strong and the price generally goes up. Conversely, when people go short on volume and the urge to sell is strong, the price drops. Then in my mind, it should follow that if the major volume on PAIR was shorting, the stock would have fallen. Just the opposite of a short squeeze, when the price goes up. I know this is very basic and can get much more complex, but the basic rule holds. There may have been some MMs that shorted today, but the way I see it using the above example, I don't see how it could be the majority of MMs or of the volume.
