So you think the market makers (and specialists in other issues) are accumulating inventory and drawing down their own cash? That seems unlikely to me. Can you point to some support? Or is it mere conjecture? JMHO.

Gregory, RE: Market makers and specialist are doing a lot of the buying Market makers do not position stocks. If for whatever rare reason a market maker is accumulating a position in a stock, one of two things usually happens: 1. That market maker is quickly fired (most likely, particularly in a large firm) or 2. That market maker generates a large trading loss, and is then fired. (rare, and then only with a small firm with poor controls that is going broke anyway.)
