[WHIP THE HORSE]

Because the MM's want to buy shares cheaper, at the bid. So they dont want to reduce the number of shares at the ask, therefore, they sell below the ask.

When you see this, better look at both, the ask and bid, they are coordinated.

Locking-your-shares Simply Put: GTC SELL order to sell

all of your shares at a price beyond any expectations...say double or triple the pps today.

Here's why: The shares showing in your brokerage account balance aren't REALLY there. There's merely a "promise" from a MM to your brokerage, that he's good for your shares at said price.

He can sell the shares he's promised over and over again and then if YOU sell them, all he has to do is dip into someone else's promised shares.

If you have an order to sell on your shares, MMs generally avoid "playing-games" with those shares.

This makes shares scarce and buys hard to fill and the price goes up!
