I agree with your good points! I heard something like day trader volume is 15% of total on any given day. Is that on a "per trade", "number of shares" or "Total Value of trades"? I was thinking 100 day trader trades of 100 shares could be getting 100 times the weight of an institution like Vanguard making a single 10,000 share trade. Do you know for sure? Do it Yourself has a huge advantage in that we can buy a small cap and not have our 1% position materially effect the price of the stock. We can also afford to wait for a dog to turn even if it takes an extra year. Fido Magallin can ONLY buy gigaCaps and still their 1% purchase might move the stock significantly.... I think some of the fall of AOL is due to Fido taking profits, correct? regards Kirk out
