Sorry, but I see so many posts that complain about the "MMs" as if they were some sort of Darth Vader of the investment world. If MMs really control every twist and turn of stocks and this is a dark mystery that can never be understood or taken advantage of, then why invest in individual stocks at all? My post was crude but apparently effective in getting some people to think. The question should be "How do the MMs and specialists operate and under what circumstances can I take advantage of their actions?" If I offended, then I apologize. But I still think many who post about MMs sound like whiners.
