Subject: RE: NYSE closing auction
Message: The L you are referring to is:

L = Sold Last (late reporting). For the NYSE you should just look at the last print of the day. Therefore, in the samples you sent:


2008.11.06 GM 16:01:11.063 4.8 96600 0 N
2008.11.06 GM 16:01:19.675 4.8 456000 1 L N - This is the last auction, 456,000 shares at $4.80

Another example: IBM 11/06, also two prints at the closing price, but none of them has code "L"

2008.11.06 IBM 16:01:14.424 85.15 29800 0 N
2008.11.06 IBM 16:01:18.445 85.15 824200 1 N - This is the last auction, 824,200 shares at $85.15
