Len, the link you posted is a potentially valuable one and contains a lot of information. This is a site maintained by the NASD; the volume figures contained there are cumulative trading volumes for each marketmaker in any given stock for any given month or quarter. This information is a simplified version of the volume tables I--and every other MM--look at every morning at work. Example: if you go to the site and enter the symbols INTC, the trading volumes for each MM will come up. You'll see that Goldman Sachs dominates the trading volume in Intel, followed by Merrill Lynch, then Smith Barney, then Mayer and Schweitzer. This tells you that GSCO is the dominant player in this stock. There is a lot of pressure on MM's to be volume leaders in the stocks in which they make markets, since volume leads to more volume because clients want to have their trades executed by the MM who offers the most liquidity.
