Cav, Taxikid also doesn't realize that RULE #1 of a MM is to short into ANY BUYING. Most BB stocks are shit, so the odds of the stock backing down after the buying dries up is so high that ALL MM's play this game this way. They NEVER get pregnant on a stock, they always trade from the short side. That's why you see the same MM's trading the BB stocks, it's how they make their money and why they trade together, although they aren't supposed to, it's just a fact of life. There could by 5 MM's short a total of a million shares on a deal, happens all the time. Add to that any financing paper that is comming out, and there is REAL pressure on a stock. Taxikid, I think you need to get a job for a while on the desk of a MM and learn the game.

for a small investor to take his shares out of the market is both ludicrous and risky. If they are not available to be sold, they could decrease in value rapidly. They could get lost,destroyed or ??? If this happens it is difficult to immediately trade the stock if there is a need or desire to do so. Taking the shares out of the "float" may cause an appearance of illiquidity to a short seller, but it will prevent an american long from timely profits. i am not going to continue this banter. I did explain this to the ovis cartel people a while ago. taxi
