LOL! My favorite set of quotes on this matter: - MMs keep ABCD down in order to buy more shares cheap; - MMs shake weak hands, then run ABCD where it belongs; - I ain't selling, they won't get my shares cheap; - INCA is the worst offender, I wish they were banned; - when will SEC finally forbid them to keep good stocks down??; - I just hate HRZG, they jump on the ask of any stock I bought. And if stock goes in their favor, comments anyway sound like: We caught those MMs with their pants down! Vadym

I've learned that the real reason behind the hard dips has a lot more to do with following the major indexes than anything else. The bids simply get yanked by the market makers when the indexes reverse in the short term and not always from inherent real selling pressure in the stock. I have noticed some serious lags between the market makers keeping up with the indexes which I take advantage of whenever possible which is a lot. I've also noticed that they'll throw in an upbid when the indexes reverse to the downside and throw in a downbid when the indexes reverse to the upside to catch people that don't follow the indexes. Does it make sense to value companies of the indexes? I don't know but thats how the game is played.
