When 100 Actually Means 25,000

When watching larger stocks, market makers from large firms will often bid for 100 shares when they actually want several thousand shares.

Market makers are in the game to make money as well as execute orders for their firm's clients.

If you do see a huge bid or ask - thousands of shares where it's not usual it's often a fake. That is, they really don't want to execute that trade but are actually trying to scare others and to move the stock the opposite way that their bid or ask would indicate. If the stock happens to trade closer and closer to that larger bid or ask, it will usually disappear. Smaller stocks and penny stocks are rife with that type of dishonest manipulation on OTC markets.
