I'm not sure that specialists have to make their "books" available to the public eye, but I'm not that savvy on trading NYSE stocks either so who knows. I know time and sales is a great tool, but it only tells you what is happening after the fact. One thing I can be fairly certain of is that there is always more than meets the eye, and as individual investors we just have to be secure in our own investments and try not to panic by the events surrounding any stocks we're in. We shouldn't be in them unless we have confidence or are in it for a quick trade. BKS is good long term for many many reasons. BNBN is a great internet play, but who can really say what it will be valued at in 2 to 3 years? I'm really hoping to get into the BNBN IPO at WIT Capital, but not holding my breath. As for BKS, nobody will have my shares for a long time. Oh well, enough ranting for now... Holding BKS, and hope to be holding BNBN. Neither of them for a quick trade. Let the daytraders do that. Personally, I'm not fit for day trading. Good luck! Scott.
