one of the problems with the concentration of stock in retail and institutional ownership, especially a stock that does not pay dividends is that the MM are reluctant to raise the price, simply because that would bring on selling by long holders...the brokerage house making a market in the stock would be the buyer of last resort for these securities, if the market could not absorb them...MM would NEVER raise the price of a stock if they are short in it...they will only raise the price if they are long, and short positions are squared up...in this way, with no overhead waterfall of retail stock above them, they can sell their holdings without fear of being dumped stock by retail holders....such is the case here with coop...even with good news, the MM are reluctant to raise the price, because they are short, do not control the majority of the float, and would be dumped on big time by mom and pop, and institutions.....Lodas
