Smacs, Couldn't get on SI before but I watched the runup. AXCS and BISH are still there though BISH has not been that active leading me to believe he is done selling for now.I'm not sure what started the runup but AXCS backing off certainly helped. Interestingly enough, AXCS had been posting a bid that was reasonably close to the market but as the bid got within a penny of his posted price of .30, he backed way off to .23. God forbid he should accidently buy some ALFN. Hopefully it at least levels off here but who knows. Seacoast- Quick L2- Market makers post best ask( the price they are willing to sell stock to you at) and best bid (the price they are willing to buy it back from you). The lowest asking price and the highest bidding price make the inside market which is the quote you see listed on your service. The rest is supply and demand- more bidders,up,more sellers, down. Not that simple in practice but you get the idea, best,p.b.
