                       Flow Summary
                            Institution A gives sell order to broker A.                            Broker A sends order to NYSE  floor  broker  forexecution.                            Floor broker works with  specialist  to  executeorder.                            Broker A is calling  other  institutions  tryingto find a buyer for AOL. Sometimes the other institutions might be a  sellerof AOL, but won’t tell broker                            A if they  are  working  their  order  with  saybroker B.                            Broker B  and  the  other  brokerage  firms  arecalling Institution A during normal course of  business  about  stocks  theyhave to buy and sell. Broker                            B tells Institution A  that  they  are  a  largeseller of AOL. Institution A doesn’t respond because it is  working  a  sellorder with Broker A.                            Broker B and the other brokerage firms are  alsomaking calls to many of the same institutions that  broker  A  called  as  aseller of AOL.
                       Get the picture? Everyone now  knows  there  is  morethan one institutional seller in AOL, and unless some buyers  show  up,  thesellers will probably have to  give  up  some  price  to  get  their  orderscompleted.                       The following charts illustrate  how  to  effectivelyselect key inflection points for short  sales  in  a  stock  that  has  lostmomentum and sellers obviously are stronger than sellers (buys reversed).
