I really like the Tom Slugger site. While not a scientific analysis, so far my intuitive impression is that dominance of buy interest messages over sell interest message results in positive performance for the day. XOMA is up 1/8 on over 130,000 shares. Thomson I Watch reported buy interest messages for 100,000.

Slugger, thanks for the new toy. Wonder when I will put it in the closet and forget about it! Today however, I have seen the first dark blue "Super", messages for 50,000 shares of XOMA. Super Messages: "Supers" offer a more explicit medium for broker/dealers to advertise their interest in trading a stock. In a Super message, broker/dealers specify the exact price and size of stock they want to trade, as well as whether they are interested in buying or selling the security. Because Supers require a minimum volume of 25,000 shares, they offer a unique opportunity to gauge the interest of institutional investors. Due to the specific nature of these messages and the fast pace of changes in the marketplace, Supers have a short shelf-life and offer only a small glimpse of the total market for a security.
