>>>the mm's are so ruthless<<< It's true! I went down to Goldman Sachs office, not one person named Ruth! Then to Merril Lynch, same result! Smith Barney, Dean Witter, ditto ditto! I went to the office of every single market maker, no Ruths! They are all completely Ruthless! When I asked why, I was told, "Well, we have to keep up our image". Where is the SEC when you need them? Barb!

I wouldn't necessarily jail those thieves, but clearly mm's should return the money they have stolen, apologize to the public and clean up their act. This has nothing to do with conspiracy, since evil mm's do not even try to hide their intentions. Just look at how yhoo was trading last 3 days, and you will understand. Does everything have to be on paper for people to realize that things are not perfect in this country? If you still disagree, name just one stock on nyse which behaves like yhoo, amzn, etc. Even aol has a relatively small capitalization (1 billion), even though they are doing some business. If aol was trading on nasdaq, it would probably be worth 10 billion right now. The problem is with nasdaq, not with conspiracies. It has been explained on this thread several times how mm's fix prices, so why are you being so obstinate with admitting there are fundamental problems with how nasdaq is organized? Are you a mm yourself, or have any vested interest by calling those problems 'conspiracies'?
