If you want to buy stock you have to buy at the ask.
That is the way it works in a healthy market.
The bid is the price MM's are willing to pay for a stock and the ask is what they are willing to sell it at.
That is their spread and how they are able to make money.
They will place and fill orders from their customers as well especially in regards to brokers.
Any available shares at the bid are usually scooped up by MM's as the price has hit their strike price.
