Nah, In that case investors are the MM (which indeed we actually are as it is our moves that initiate MM moves) - Look at how I assess tuesdays trading: s=sell b=buy (shareholders view):

You really cannot blame MM's for walking it down can you ? - Actually took some time before the b/a moved!! Selling was IMO those looking for a very short term gain.
Used to have a link that showed last 10 trades, and related them to quote at bid/at ask - cannot find it in all the 100's of links - have to clean up my bookmarks :-(
