If mms didn't take the other side of the trade when there was an imbalance, and all sells were matched to buys (and vice versa), prices would stagnate.

In today's trading, shares sold outnumbered shares bought by a ratio of over 700:1. If the painter didn't prop up the price on occassion, the price would plummet.
