well...Merril dumped roughly 160k @ 2.65 with thousands more on offer in the 2.70's...then disappeared from both sides of the board - looks like most of the bigs are standing back now turning the market back over to peicemeal sales - not a bad strategy if they're looking for a bargain and expect a further drop

Interestingly enough ATI is up 15% - but hey - it's the market.

Roy Rogers told me the other day [while QEC was trading in the 3.10's] to wait to buy because the charts showed a drop was coming - that's the second time I ignored him on this stock [the first was when he told me to buy in the 0.40's]. I could be buying at these bargain basement prices...

my investment strategy for today is to finish my coffee and get to work on that shed I'm supposed to build outback - that'll get a better return for my time than watching the market I think. When I cut the studs I will stack the shorts for burning ;-)
