Usually the more active a stock is the less the spread between bid & ask prices. The MM's can make money and are more competitive when there is activity - just like an active discount store.

When there is no activity in a stock the MM's widen the spread (also done when they are in trouble with a long or short position).

Is that helpful enough for now?
