Thanks for the link. It's new to me and looks like a valuable tool, but I don't quite understand the significance of your post. Please explain if you have time. To my untrained eye, it looked like a lot of institutions were buying, and that seems to bode well for price. Do institutions usually buy and sell like daytraders or do they hold for longer term? Also, I read the explanation of "misc", but still don't get it. Somehow it seems like most of the "smart money" got out between 44 and 24 and not much down movement since. Why are people here saying "high teens"? Another question, not related to this, for anyone..please explain how all those "class action" suits work. I bought during that period, and from much of what I've read on this board, they do have a case. Could someone please explain the pros & cons of signing up with them? thanks. I asked this before and no one replied.
