nite and <etmm> have this interesting habit of positioning themselves first <or best> on either the bid or ask .. and then *blocking* at various times
<btw .. it's well known on many .. many levels .. from those who provide level 2 services .. to brokers who will speak off of the record>
now .. as anyone with l2 knows .. they don't *always* block .. but they can and do
in aerp's case ..
when one asks what the bid ask is and you see .. .0001/.0002 .. 13x1
and it's *nite* by themselves on ask at .0002
and a trade for 5k .. 6k .. 9k .. is entered at .0003 and *filled* there .. it means nite is blocking ..
in the last 3 months .. *longs* have gotten nite .. able and etmm .. this way .. and then one can submit a complaint directly to the SEC
--- due to the bs that is aerp's *trading* ... i discussed with the SEC .. back in february what options .. longs could do .. and was told very specifically .. if we could prove they blocked .. to submit those complaints by as many longs as possible as frequently as possible <direct quote was squeaky wheel gets the attn>
--- usually nite will bring down another MM on ask meaning the bids will fill at the ask .. almost always when it's etmm .. it's a bluff ..
--- not sure if you have rt l2 .. but if you don't and plan to either trade or invest in the pk/bb arena ~ it's the best advice i can give you
you can then learn who is the primary and who is the secondary .. in the never ending game of musical chairs .. when a stock like aerp .. is NSS'd .. to hell and back ..
also here's a site ..you should bookmark and check every month ..
it's the mm monthly volume report and it will show quite clearly .. who plays the game
in aerp's .. case there is no contest .. it's nite
--- back in 07 .. fccn days .. it was vfin then with aerp coming public .. it morphed to sbsh and nite by 2008 .. it was all nite .. with ubss coming in a very .. very .. distant second
--- glty ..
--- 4kids all jmo
10/5/07 -- there are no coincidences here ... oh and like many other longs .. not selling at this level --
