Everything that the MM's do is NOT legal, but certainly transparent. Free markets are driven by current market prices, so when these prices are established (let's say at the ask) the posted price should NOT be reduced unless the price is under market pressure (from consecutive and persistent sells at the bid price). Price manipulation occurs when these posted prices rise and fall AGAINST the direction of the market action to these prices. As an investor or consumer, shouldn't you be pissed when you buy something at the current market value and the very next transaction is purchased at a cheaper price when the price is not under pressure?

I have been trying to figure these guys out for a while...anything that you can share would be appreciated.
