CLYP is a MM that has been sitting on the ask for the past few weeks. With him gone there is much less upward pressure for the stock to move.

CLYP Carlin Equities Gone

Has been sitting on the bid/ask for days, but is now gone this morning. Also, all the MMs set their bids at 11:23, sat that way for at least an hour. So, what does 11:23 mean?

1. In Charles Dickens’ Tale of Two Cities, Sidney Carton is No. 23 of a multitude executed by the guillotine. "In the last act of the theatrical adaptation, 'The Only Way,' an old woman sits at the foot of the guillotine, calmly counting heads as they are lopped off. The only recognition or dignity afforded Carton as he meets his fate is the old woman emotionlessly saying 'twenty-three' as he is beheaded. 'Twenty-three' quickly became a popular catchphrase among the theater community in the early twentieth century, often used to mean, 'It’s time to leave while the getting is good."-

Would be a good time to release more news.

abbam...Here is a list of a few Market Makers that trade in the OTC and Pinks (copied from another site)

There are 2 categories of Market Makers let's talking about the first one.

Retail Market Makers:

These are the market makers from very popular brokerage firms. They handle a lot of the order flow for small retail investors.

NITE: NITE

SCHB: Schwab

TDCM: TD Water House

SBSH: Smith Barney

MLCO: Merrill Lynch

ETRD: ETRADE

GSCO: Goldman Sachs: New Kid on the Block, very active lately.

This is the list that you really have master because these are the MARKET MAKERS that handle promotions, insider transactions also S-8 and CD Transaction.

CD: means Convertible Debentures they are loans the come due and get sold into the market by the loaning company.

There are lot market makers in this category so I will break it down to who are the most important: These are some of the more active MARKET MARKET MAKERS on the street:

FANC: major S- 8 player: if there is an S- 8 on a Stock most likely he will be there on the ask until it dries up

HDSN: major CD Seller Handles a lot CD transactions.

VIEW: love when he’s on the bid

DOMS

MAXM: one of favorites: smart money more like a trader than market maker replaces GNLN for now.

ECN MARKET MAKERS

ARCA (formally GNET): very active used by traders market makers any one can use ARCA you have to know what your are doing. If you have access to ACRA trading system you can use the ecn.

TRAC: owned by my track if you trade with my track you can use this to place your trade as a liquidity outlet same 4 data

There are probably a few market makers that I left out or there will a few new market makers that show but for the most part these are the major players. Good luck hopes this helps.
