Hi Gene -

The other day I had a limit buy (thru ETrade) for a stock at 5 1/4; the stock opened at 5 3/16 x 5 7/16. My bid never showed until the bid jumped over 5 1/2. Looks like there were prints at 5 3/16 but I don't have the tape to determine the size.

Someone thought there was a rule exempting MM's from showing best bids for the first 15 minutes of the trading session. Never heard of that myself.

True or just SI fiction?
