Another MM trick. One of my mid-caps had been on a nice
run since the first of the year.

Naturally, since I'm making good money on the stock, I
set a protective stop - just in case.

MMs are needing shares, so they open the market by banging
the stock down hard for a few minutes just to take out those
protective stops, then zip... right back up to yesterday's
close.

Sigh* It just happened to me.
