I wrote earlier about how May 9th seems to be a divergence point in my mind. It is when I started thinking that my identity as Kerry Burgess may not actually be reality. I was still in the gulag at Pioneer Square at the time as was keeping a journal on the computer when I could get one, and in my hand-written notes when I could not. I feel fortunate that I made it back here to this better homeless shelter and I feel about 4% less oppressed. Anyway, I don't think it is a coinicidence that this new perception started happening me in May. Someone has been blocking me from going home all these years because when I go home, I will remember and I will know what they have done. That explains those recurring memories I have had over the past two or three years. The details change in the dream but the theme is always the same. In the dream, I suddenly find out that I still own a home somewhere. I say suddenly because it startles me to learn that I can go home at that very minute, if I can find a way to get there. These feelings have been especially strong lately. I know without a doubt that I have a home somewhere, I just can't remember where it is.
Anyway, again, I was thinking again about all this as I was examining some unusal details about the Microsoft stock. Right around the first of May this year, there is this whopper sales volume spike on one day. It is almost 600 million shares that seem to have been dumped on the market on 4/28/06. I am not sure if there is some SEC trial going on and I am some kind of hostage-witness in that process. They not only have been listening to every sound I make for almost a decade, they were also willing to sit there and listen while I was starving those 9 days because they got me effectively blacklisted from any kind of employment and were extremely indifferent to whether I lived or died. Anyway, I started examining the numbers and those 6 days at the first of month are notable in their transactions volumes. Yahoo! has a great stock history tool and I determined that the nearly 600 million shares that traded on 4/28/06 represents the 4th highest volume of transactions since Microsoft went public in 1986. The highest volume day seems to be the first day of trading with just over 1 Billion shares. There are only two other days that were higher than 4/28/06 and those were in 1989 and 1994, respectively. Below is a list I created as an illustration. It's interesting to note that the lowest volume of that week is still ranks at 282 out of 5,155 trading days.
