Ronald, >>If the 600,000 shares were a buy order, where did the MM get the shares to fill it? I looked at the intra-day, and it did not look to me like any shares could have been accumulated below 49 by the MM at that point in time.<<

I'm out of my depth here. The price rose steeply shortly after. That's why I assumed a buy order. If it was a sell, wouldn't the price have gone down further? (because there now was too much of a supply). But where did the MM get the 600k sh if it was a buy?
Do MMs keep inventory several days?

Any experts out there?

Gottfried
