It's the market makers I don't trust.


That goes double for me. Watching MTSN drop over 20% this morning on about 40K volume is a prime example. They can decide to support a stock or not, it's all up to them. If they don't have the stock in their coffers to support it, they can decide to let it drop until there are enough sellers to refill their stash at substantially lower prices....or call their buddies with deep pockets and tell them to load up (or short, depending on the buying/selling imbalance).
