Kevin--front running it is, and currently its legal on NASDAQ, but not NYSE.
That is, market makers can front run large orders, or, simply drop the bid
if someone is selling or up the ask if someone is buying. I would never
ever place a market order unless you are desperate to move some stock.
Use limit orders always. Then you're ok. By the way, if you move your
stock in 1000 block increments the SOES system more or less guarentees
that you will get quick executions if you buy at the ask or sell at the
bid. So, use limit orders, trade in 1000 share blocks, and you'll be
ok. Don't waste your time with the SEC. There's a lot worse going on
out there, buddy, its the wild west.
