Steve,

Concerning MMs and maniping, would not the fact that MMs and Specialists can trade stocks in their own private accounts explain some volatility?

IOW, since they know from the orders where the market for an equity is headed, short term, at least, they can short and cover ahead of the market at will.

IMHO, it's like a license to steal.

It would at least explain some of the short term volatility.

Thoughts?

Have fun,
Phil
