Methinks some of you don't know what drives a stock price up. Except for the NASDAQ it's an auction. If you bid at 5 and someone else bids 5 1/8 the higher price gets filled. Yeah, I think I have a grasp on that basic blocking and tackling. Why do you think my marketable bid of 5k shares at 5 15/16 took an hour to get filled? My bid was the best bid several times and I witnessed more than adequate volume trade at that price repeatedly. I was watching the action on Level II and was totally puzzled that it took an eon to fill.
