RE: House Positions...I'm not sure who you're agreeing with taurusbull. I must say that I don't pay much attention to what any given house is doing unless the activity of a single client can be isolated within that house's trading activity. Especially on a busy day, there are many clients trading out of the same house and I doubt completely whether they act in concert, other than collectively being either mostly on the buy or sell. That could reflect a house's opinion but in the end, each client makes up his or her own mind. Acting in concert and collectively are completely different things.
So when I hear that Canaccord or Dundee is selling today, or whatever, I don't pay much attention to it unless it's obvious they're leading the market.
FIMAT is interesting because it seems to be a single trader who is very clever in the way he sets up the bid/ask so that human instinct is triggered into buying or selling into the hands of another house lurking just ahead or behind FIMAT. And that's all the ccomment I have to offer about FIMAT publicly here.
