There are obviously alot of games market makers play. As long as you and I have watched RHCO, have you ever seen a 500,000 buy order executed???? I doubt there have been any for even 100,000 shares! So with that in mind, here is a quote I found about market makers. See if you think it applies to your question.

"Sometimes, market makers will post an attractive price but with a limited number of shares. The result may be an investor that puts in a large order and gets it filled at less-attractive prices. Conversely, market makers may put in large “phantom orders” – never intended for execution – to create psychological resistance levels." Yes they play games but I would love to see what would happen if someone actually placed an order for that 500,000. They may fill it and take the loss or if they are not concerned with their reputation they can "back away" from the trade. Whould like to see which happens...!!!
