I don't buy the conspiracy theory. People buy and people sell at different times. Trying to figure out who and why and when is a fools game, IMO, since there are too many variables that aren't "defined". Blaming MM's for doing their job is silly and a useless waste of time. Their job is to make as much money as possible while performing the function of linking buyers and sellers. No one is forcing the sellers to sell and no one is forcing the buyers to buy. When there are more people selling then buying the stock drops. It's that simple in my book. Maybe it's more appropriate to say that there are more people willing to sell at a higher price then are willing to buy in at that same price. I think it's too easy to get caught up in the tick by tick movements. When the spread increases, it's too easy to cry foul and lay blame on a MM. If the spread is too great, my advice is to avoid trading at that time. All this is posted with the best intentions and I'm not trying to joust with anyone on this thread. Michael
