TWICK - please help me to understand, I am somewhat new to this but am willing to learn. I thought the MM is under an obligation to make a "fair market" for a security. How, then can he/she arbitrarily drop the price, as MALL did on Friday, in order to pick up shares. This question may sound naive on my part, but as I said, I am a newby and would like to understand. Htanks for your help !

OMKT and EGGS I only follow 300 stocks to the detail that leaves me comfortable to post them here. I believe it was John J H Kim who originally posted OMKT, and I will defer to his judgement on the stock for tomorrow, as well as DRIV. Several folks posted about EGGS, so I don't want to credit the wrong person, but the same goes for that one. Occasionally I will add a ticker to my database, such as ONSL and CDNW, and as of yesterday, I added MALL, and those will show up on my screens if they meet the criteria. If I see that OMKT has some opportuinity for longer term plays - that is, that the volume and strength of the issue is going to be there to make the detailed analysis worthwhile, I will add it. But frankly, its hard to tell right now whether some stocks are only good for a 3 or 4 day play or if they will be good to play for a month or more. For the work I have to put into an analysis, I have to find some way to limit the number of stocks I look at. ls
