NSAV Holding Inc (NSAV)

ASCM is not a broker, it is a market maker (MM). It has control of its spread, and that's all. There are dozens of market makers, all with their own spread.
Market makers have no way to control share prices of any stocks, because they make their spread on every sell, and every buy, no matter WHAT the share price is doing.
So, get it out of your head that MM's have ANYTHING WHATSOEVER to do with share price. It is TRADERS that control share price by their buying and selling methods. For instance if a trader sells a large block of stock, at market, the share price will absolutely go down. If they BUY a large block at market, the price will go up. MM's are only limited to tranches shown in their spread, and their spread is constantly changing, adapting to market conditions.
MM's are explicitly not traders. They don't buy and sell shares, they FULFILL ORDERS from traders.
