What does trading in 100 or 200 share blocks have bearing on? Mogami (a few entries above) indicated that he/she is seeing these blocks of trades as 'trying to stop us'.
Just looking for knowledge...

Brandon or anyone...do we have to be over 1.00 pps to trade in penny increments? Presently this .0001 is really bullshit amounts in trades.
Hmmmm. *waits for the 2PM selloff*
Ok I see ... i was just noting you said you wish you had put more money in when you did buy. That indicated to me you had more money to invest. Bad assumtion on me I to am out of money to invest in spec stocks. So we are both All in.
of course if I was SURE it would be $1 by years end I might liquidate my regular positions and buy more ... but this stock still isnt trading reasonably. maybe after Q1 although I suspect it will Q2 before it settles down.
I think it will trend up till then ... 2 steps forward 1-1.5 steps back. But I have no idea .. the only prediction I got right on this stock was no BK in feb or march .....

Thanks Brandon.
New question and I'm open to input from Rel, Cos, sl62, 888's, Homer and any others that might be able to lead me in the right direction. As I've stated before, I'm a rookie at trading, but am committed to increasing my knowledge. I've learned far more than I ever thought I would in the last few months just by purchasing Sirius and reading these posts every day. Any suggested reading material, online classes, etc that might help me further my knowledge base in a less stressful manner? Any advice would be much appreciated.
A lot of those 100 and 200 lots are partial orders also.... Most traders who can trade in 4 decimal places can see the prices set by these 100 and 200 bids are there and ignore them... The most effective use I've seen by the MM's is for them to set up a wall of these multiple small orders at the last tenth of a cent (.1990-.1999) to block the next whole cent, .20 trade by retail 2 decimal place buyers out... They do the same on the way down (.1901-.1910) which keeps retailers with GTC orders at .19 out . They painstakingly do this at every break price they can to control their own trading agendas..
It's not a question of enough, pal. It's a zero sum game, somebody wins, somebody loses. Money itself isn't lost or made, it's simply transferred from one perception to another.
Hi, On level II they are showing as 100 share bids, or 100 share asks. Always lower then what traded right before them.
Partial trades show by subtracting from the larger share number (example ask is 30,000 shares at .1800 when 200 are sold ask goes to 29800 shares at .1800)
Yum, Yum, Yum...Just got back from lunch and we're movin toward pushin the 20 cent ceiling....Come on, come on, Come ON!!! (Slapin that hip!)
