. . . . MM Fake bids and offers. . . . . After looking at the trading log on OSFT, I couldn't help thinking that many of those 25k offers put up by market maker REDI seemed "phantom" . . . to show strength on the sell side. . . Some market makers are known to do this to place artificial pressure on one side or another. . . . this is manipulative when they have no intention of executing the size shown. Anthony has a remedy for fighting back, whenever we see such violations. . . he is going out on a limb by posting the phone number to the NASDAQ Market Regulation Department. I know I will be watching OSFT offers by REDI on Monday. . . .and will be checking trading logs. . .but having this info may help us in keeping the playing field somewhat level [as if that were possible], well into the future.
