could someone fill me in on "bid size" and "ask size" The bid size is the total amount of stock wanted at a give price. Normally people refer to bid size as the highest bid price. This number doesn't include special orders (all-or-none, market orders). The opposite is true for ask size. For example is someone want 500 shares at .64 and another person what 14,000 shares at .64. The bid size would be 14,500 at .64. However someone could have an all-or-none order for 100,000 shares at .64 that is not showing. KEITH
