RE: dread dogs;;;;;;;;; this one's for you;;;;;;; Sometimes it is important to know who is trading and I'll give you a case in point that I was involved with. Several months ago a Co. called Birch Mountain ( BMD ) was given a terrible write up by TD and the stock plummeted, 8.50 down to 3.50 . Everyone jumped on the bandwagon and sold or shorted. As the SP started to recover , the TD was in there buying up lots of 100k at a time - seems the management didn't believe the report. Now the TD had other interests here ( too many to list here ), the point being is that actions (buying) speak louder than words (bad report). So I like to know who is selling and buying - but not every day or every stock.
