    Level II

It is a really good perspective to have. Once you have it you would feel naked without it.

    If you don't know the principles of level two, there is a really good explanation on www.stockhideout.com or you can google "How to use Level II stock quotes" and there are plenty there.

    It isn't rocket science, but is a great tool to have when trading.

    Hope that helps a little bit.

    mid sounds bigger than small and much better than spec.

    yeah i believe that because of its market cap it now qualifies as a mid cap instead of small cap.

    Mels pep talk

    via tom taylor at radioinfo.com I'm sure tom saw the internal memo and or confirmed it or he would not have wrote this bit. was this behind the slight uptick yesterday.


    Sirius XM boss Mel Karmazin says “We’re #1.”
    #1 radio company, by virtue of topping Clear Channel’s radio division in first-quarter revenues ($605 million to $603.5 million). And #1 in the world, since America’s largest radio company is almost by definition the world’s largest radio company.
