Thanx Poker, please let me restate it & see if I've got it. My degree is in history, so I'm admitting all the time of the depth of my understanding "deficit".

What you are saying is that, a firm (MM) can be seeing that they are on the wrong side of the trend of a stock (in this case, they are short when it no longer looks like that is the place to be). So, whenever they get an opportunity to fill at a low price (ie, by mirroring a trade), they do so, thus progressively alleviating thier disadvantageous position. Right?

So, I am in another pinkie that has lots of mirroring going on (BIGN). They are awaiting big news and the stock is adrift, waiting. Anyway, it is your position that in both stocks, if there is a lot of mirroring going on instantaneously upon a trade by an outsider such a me, then I should ALWAYS see this a a positive for the stock.

Here's my question: can there be any explanation where this is NOT good news? Your explanation of the short case makes sense, as does the explanation of the "big buy accumulation" case. I just want to be sure of every possibility. I can't see any other way than to see it as optimistic but I'd love to hear someone offer up an alternative view, if one is out there.

Again, good thoughts & thanx.
