A MM can stop market-making activities and pull out at anytime, although if they do I believe they may not re-enter for 30 days. No reason necessary. Although putting in a bid like say .50 or $1, and a ask of say $3 or $4 when the inside bid/ask is $1 29/32 by $1 15/16, would effectively do the same thing (ie. they aren't buying or selling, waiting to see which direction the wind is going). If a MM either has the high bid or the low ask, and a sell/buy market order(s) are placed the MM must execute them (up to the number of shares that they quoted, before changing the price) Kurt
