MM is not your broker. I think the confusion lies in the average investor not understanding the various roles,rights and limitations of the varied and intricate interconnectedness of a financial marketplace. Nevermind d the mystical "clearance houses" and gray markets.

It's simpler to simply buy at your desired price, with a clear plan of profit execution. Beyond that, the small gambler can do very little to affect the enormous financial machinery in which they play.

You can't place the order yourself on the trader it has to be phoned in? Each day I put my shares a few dollars. I'd be a millionaire if they fill

porky,

In light of your back and forth with 'lilpuppy' and a few others, the fact is that today's market world has been severely tarnished by what amounts to legalized racketeering.

One doesn't need to be an economic genius to realize that short selling was instrumental in the great crash under Hoover. That's why it was later banned as a practice by the SEC and still is in some countries around the world. Short selling is a diabolical tactic cleverly packaged as a necessary thing, and only a short seller argues against that truth.

Granted, it was later re-authorized as a valid practice under the guise of keeping the market honest, but that's nothing more than gold spray-painted horseshit.

My point is that today's stock market is riddled with collusion from the inside out. The power brokers lobbied to change the rules to suit their own selfish interests, and big money dominates minds. Today's market is what it is, and we retailers just have to knuckle down and live with it. It will never change for the better, and our success is determined in finding ways to survive its rip currents.
