Almost every "trade" on the NASDAQ prints twice. These are not NASDAQ, but the concept is the same. Since the deal is thin and almost totally non-liquid, the firm that bought his stock probably called the firm that owned some at that point during the day and said "gimme [number] shares. Point and click, done. They split the spread on the trade. Do I agree with it? No. Do I understand it? Sure! The guys that make markets in those pieces of sh** need to move the stock back and forth. God forbid you get caught with some inventory if it tanks 20% in one minute. See also: #reply-4489845

So if the MM (#1)who filled his order did it via a purchase from another MM (#2), that means that MM #1 didn't just short the fill in hopes of covering later at a lower price. And that means that the whole MM conspiracy thing about shorting MTEI and driving down the price is a figment of someone's very vivid imagination. My what we can learn on the moron thread Alternatively, we could, then further conclude, that in fact, the longs of MTEI themselves, (or any bb issue, for that matter), are part of the shorting conspiracy, by initiating the entire trade in the first place!..... I knew it, I knew it all along...... Wow! this SI Universe is full of... er... SHORTS.... Always the last to know...... Z.
