A MM would not be doing that at the close. Too blatant. I have a few people looking into it and it is a serious no -no. The firm representing the order should be flagging the customer so they are as much at fault. We will see what happens.
as we are all going to find out once the criminal indictments for manipulating the stock price of a publicly traded company are announced, it is actually a couple of "True LWLG Longs" that are attempting to "protect their investment"
its going to be fun
thanks, I would guess the markings of the close are being done by the same party as the stock moves up & down, so whether sells at the bid whilst the stock is in rally mode, or buys at the ask whilst the stock is in selloff mode, I guess same party is doing it, perhaps a MM? perhaps Shorts? perhaps it is LPC? I doubt it is Gram Gram , lol
BTW, I think there is much more serious manipulation of the stock throughout the trading day than the last minute, it should be obvious to anyone who follows trades closely
