NJM, if I was going to paint the tape like today, I would place a limit order with just a few minutes of trading time left in the day to buy 100,000 shares (or less) at a limit price of something like $.99 without any qualifiers like all or nothing. An order like that would vacuum up all the shares listed on the Ask list up to the amount specified. Only a computer would be able to withdraw any phantom Ask quotes in time to avoid being caught up in the deal. I might not get the total of the order before trading for the day ended, buy a lot of it would get a fill.
