Good job on this, jrf30.
One thing that stands out, very loudly in these numbers, is that on high volume days there are plenty of folks here who are "long and strong" that are really just flipping shares.
I cast no aspersions, we're all here to make money. If you sell some shares because you have financial obligations, that's a good thing in my book. Take care of your business.
But, we can't all be holding tight and seeing high volume days. Not if the numbers are what we think they are, what jrf30's research indicates.
I blame some of that on the way we treat traders here. If you say anything that can be construed as flipping, or hoping to get cheaper shares, you're met with derision from at least 5 or 6 posters. So people claim to be holding, just to avoid the confrontation.
Full Disclosure: I've personally got 2,043,000 shares and can account for an additional 1,320,000 shares through family and friends. And we're all long, so when you read me pining for cheaper shares, save the flipper rhetoric, you're completely clueless. And, based on jrf30's numbers, probably the guy that's going to sell those cheaper shares to me. That's a good thing for the rest of us, because transferring your shares to me puts them in stronger hands.
