fsshon: i bought some more wamu, 10,000 shares not much according to your standards, but thats besides the point. i noticed the volumne is a little higher than normal so iam wondering why it took so long to by just 10,000 shares. it took 7 transactions to fill my order. what is your opinion on why it took that many transactions to fill? could a lot of trades have been between the mms making the volumne look higher than usual, trying to get investors to sell low?
