techisbest....the MM's are always in the middle, they fill the buys and sells. Their commission is the spread between bid and ask. They buy low and sell high all day long. Wyo got lucky, IMO, some MM bought high (or maybe he was short on filling a sale a higher price a few days ago and needed to square the books). I've had the same thing happen a couple of times on other stocks, and more often a limit buy or sell fill between the bid/ask when a big spread is present on a low volume stock. An MM is always the buyer and seller on every trade.....the specialist is on the NYSE.
Terry, jump in here and tell me where I'm wrong, TIA....

My comments on companies are usually my opinion of long term success (years). The PPS may go up or down greatly in the meantime depending on the number of greedy suckers with money.
