David First, the market maker has to buy the shares at your price so they print on his buy at "x". Then he sells them to you at "x" (the same price) so they print a second time. In what situation can't the buy and sell orders of a customers be matched on the NASDAQ? I can see the MM buying someones shares 1/16 or lower then selling them to you slightly higher but why would they do the transaction at the same price and not just match the orders? I have heard of double counting before but have never looked into it closely....any idea how inflated volume gets (1%, 5%, etc.) by this action? KEITH
