Nope AOL is a NYSE stock... no "market makers" there...

So you mean to tell me MMs dont naked short big time to bring the price down for 1/2 hour at a time? (to levels where the normal demand and supply don't make sense?)

I've seen crazy things on NASDAQ and even worse on OTC:BB with MMs and prices dropping 10-20% (especially on OTC:BB) on just a few trades.

I don't think they are "crooks" like a lot of people think; they manage order flow... I just think they have a major advantage in what they can see, and they use it to an extreme...

Check out the practices of NITE sometime if you have a chance..

Personally it doesnt matter to me.. been doing this long enough to understand what will go on, but for the newer people (like you say the inexperience investors) many will be left out in the cold .. somewhere along the line.
