>>>Would it not have to be both? How can you buy if someone wasn't selling ... and vice versa? <<< No it does not have to be both. On the NASDAQ, Market Makers are the middlemen in most transactions. They could handle two buys from their inventory. If you look at real time bid and ask, you may see bid and ask counts as well. The counts show how many shares are offered/accepted. Normally the number is 10 - 10. This is equalibrium. Equal number of shares going in and out. The 10 represents 1000 shares. To find out closely what is going on you need to watch level 2 realtime action. Many day traders use this to their advantage.
