it's absolutely true. ever hear of high-frequency trading? black box traders, algos?
ever hear of a "dilution run"? you think retail slaps these pieces of shit from low trips to subs, all on their own?
you think when you hit a bid and see two MMs instantly stack with 10K shares each it's retail doing that?
how about when we put an order on the ask, all by itself, but instantly 5 other MMs join, in a stack - all retail?
you think MMs can't stack bids and kite shares and push stocks?
funny stuff.
