"I think if someone was to bite on what they put up we would see some reaction for their programing."

You betcha! I often wish I had Buffetts resources to just blister through 500K of shares and imagine the sound of undergarments trying to absorb as the "shorts" reach for the buy button and as the rest of the market then kicks in in frenzied support. Lets see, what would our sp be right now if someone bought 200K at market. My market depth doesn't go that high but I'll bet it would be over $2. Having said all that, Buffett didn't make his money by such frivolous actions, but it is fun to think of such a chivalrous act.
