It is easier to understand in an open auction, because it means that the buyers are only willing to buy at a price well below where the sellers are willing to sell. Meaning that the buyers know something that the sellers don't or vice versa.

But with a MM controlled market, I seem to remember that a manipulated stock has sometimes carried a wide spread, as the MMs hook the buyers in and don't let them get out. I am basing this on an article that I seem to remember posted on SI, possibly even back on the old USRX thread around Feb or Mar about fraudulent manipulations. I could be mistaken, though it might have been in a Business Week article on organized crime on Wall Street.

In the case of RBBS, who can tell what's really going on?
