I don't understand the hangup on 911 trades. Mm's buy their shares from many sources to fill your orders. Just because you order 10K shares doesn't mean an MM finds all 10K in one place, at the best price. I've bought 1M shares and it was filled in 2 tranches - 999,999 and 1 share. Yes, one share. MM's don't pay commissions, so it is no sweat for them to make tiny trades to fill out an order. They always buy at the lowest price to fill your orders (most profit for them) and then make smaller buys to fill out orders at a less profitable price.
What YOU see is the RESULT of what the MM's do, not what private traders are doing.
