MM=Market Maker. They generally trade the stock in the opposite way you do. They sell first (to you when you buy) and buy back later...hopefully at a cheaper price. When you buy, you bet the price is going up...when they sell they bet the price is going down....since they control the market in a since, they generally have the upperhand. Unless the buying by the public gets out of hand, and there is more buying than they can handle, then you can get what's called a "short squeeze" They are in place to provide an orderly market...that usually is not the case.
