It's about strength, regardless of the last second shenanigans. The closing price doesn't tell the tale of the strength into the close. It's only important if you had an 'on close' order.
Hawkshaw...I can only tell buys & sells on Island. The last minute (actually less than that) had 14 buys all 3.30 or more. Then "they" took it down for the close on a couple of trades. More capping? Preacherman, any ideas?
