Well, I did watch the action of the MMs on my LII and it was interesting. The hands down winner of the MM sitting on the ask virtually the entire day was MASH (Mayer& Schwertzer). At the close they were the only MM offering at 8 3/16 and this was common throughout the day. Our stock was strong (and on no news!) and I feel reasonably certain that but for Mayer & Schwertzer we would have closed higher yet. Does anyone know anything about this broker? Do they have any connection with our company or its management? The MMs on the bid were a far more varied and changeable group: Sherwood, Stco(Stuart, Coleman& Co), TSCO (Trosker, Singer, Stevens), Openheimer, BLUE, Merril Lynch were among the MMs at the top of the bid. I would appreciate if someone can supply us with some information on Mayer & Schwertzer. Bruce
