Dan,

Hmmmm, kinda counter-intuitive saying that the MM's will sell all they can to the institutions when the MM's know the institutions are buying:

when a stock starts to get some serious institutional interest the MMs will sell all they can to those buyers

Also, another thing you said seems backwards to me:

http://www.thomsoninvest.net/iwatch/cgi-bin/iw_page?ticker=a...

On the day AMKR reached 15_1/2, virtually all the messages from the MMs to the institutions were "sell" messages

It seems backwards because my understanding of the Thomson site is that the buy/sell indicators are bids and offers by institutions, not MM's.

OTOH I confess to be completely out of the loop concerning MM (alleged) manipulation. The one thing from that guys' post that made sense to me was MM awareness of what level (which I construe to mean major TA points) will generate orders (volume). I'm inclined to agree with this.

Another theory that has recently bubbled up in my head (the big bubble) is that low volume creates opportunity for manipulation, which may be the reason that you see shakeouts at the tail end of a consolidation when volume diminishes.

There may be sense, though, in what you say about the MM's selling to institutions. Gotta put that one away to ferment.

Regards,
wily
