NO. Stop blaming market makers for everything. They can influence SHORT term intraday moves when moving large chunks of stock, but all stocks ultimately find direction based on FUNDAMENTALS, and NO MM can push against the fundamentals. Seems to be a common occurance on SI that when a stock goes against the shareholders they all blame the MM or shortsellers. Neither can make a stock go down if it was not meant to be. Period...........;^)

Ed: The MM have no control over a 'margin squeeze'. What I think you are referring to is a margin call, which forces a long equity holder to either sell shares of the margined stock or other stocks to bring his margin account balance to an acceptable level. I hope this helps you.
