I agree with you, Nathanial, about the semantic usage of the acronym "MM," which is usually taken here to mean "market maker." No, what NITE and VERT and a few others are doing is trying to MANIPULATE this particular market to their own ends (can't blame 'em for that, honestly) and consequences for the life of the company or other investors be damned. They're counting on a few weak sisters in the flock being lured by their siren song and they're usually proven right, sad to say
