BINGO ! Now someone asks the right question! It's about time!

HERE'S A FOR INSTANCE - Perhaps a person or fund or organization with 200 million shares to sell, gave the entire block to UBSS, and said this:

"Get us between .0025 and .0030 for this 200 million shares. FOR SURE. Take up to 30 days to complete this deal for us, OK?"


(200 million share,s times $.0025, is $500,000 dollars, which is why the seller is doing this.)

So you see what would happen, the MM puts out 20M shares a day, feeding them into the market slowly, at the preferred "ask" - while allowing the "bid" (retail marks like you and me) to absorb the shares while enthusiasm is high and growing. Not letting the price dip, while the shares are still being sold. A matter of careful timing!

So simple. It happens. The 20 million shares show up, daily, at the ask, but you never see the 180 million share overhang, just out of sight, behind the ask. MMs can do this. MMs DO DO THIS.

SO THE SIMPLE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS THIS: They are not suppressing the price, they are selling a large large block of shares, slowly, keeping the price where it is, so their specialcustomer can achieve his goal. DON'T SELL 'EM ALL AT ONCE AND KNOCK THE PRICE DOWN!

Learn about MMs. They owe allegiance to themselves first, and big players second. Retail customers last, if at all.

MMs RULE!!!
