"when 9:30 hit we hit 2.83 and at the close of 9:30"
I might explain that part about the close of 9:30. I meant when the minute of 9:30 was up and it turned to 9:31. For those of you who watch streaming charts and see on your screens the red, green or white lines indicating buy, sell or unchanged. The green, red or white are indications of where the price ended during that minute from where it started. Green means during the price went up during that minute and stayed above the opening of that minute...and you get the rest. During the day watch lvl II on KRY and see how much goes in on the ask and how much goes in on the bid at the end of the minute to change the chart from green to red...it is very interesting....this is known as silent accumulation. For instance during the day today you will see 20k go thru on the ask then suddenly just before that minute is up somebody throws 100 shares or whatever at the bid thus turning that 20k into a big red line on the chart. Anyone looking at the chart would think there was a lot of selling going on when actually 20k had just been purchased. So do you think it is worth while for the shorts to throw something at the bid at the end of every minute or put up a wall on the ask that nobody will buy through. The shorts will throw up 60k knowing that nobody will buy through it thus keeping the pps supressed.
