They make a market for the stock. Each market maker is free to buy and sell as they see fit. If you beleive the year over year price has to do with market makers you should sell and move onto companies that dont seem to have this problem. I have friends that are traders. Market makers are not freindly to each other. What you post makes them laugh. Sorry Locks
