Jetman,
Imo, any shares on the sell side were scared up by MM's . They need stock, and lots of it!, This is what happens. They call around to brokers, who then call the clients. The brokers somehow convince the client, its in their best interest to sell!! Unfortunately when the price pops, the MM's are toast, the brokers are toast for advising their clients to sell, and as usual , the client is SOL and pissed off, but finds some relief by suing the brokerage. Sound improbable? When $$$$$ are at stake, i expect anything goes.....
