You don't understand the point of a MM (Market MAKER)... They process trades when the orders come through from brokerages. The broker basically throws up the order and the MM decides whether or not to process the trade on their behalf. They might be net positive or net negative shares at any given time when they decide to fill the trade. That being said they will fill buy orders on the way up and be net negative on share position. Then they will cover their net negative position at a later date (most always at a lower price)... This is how they make money. They would otherwise have no source of income.
