Allen,

The big falsehood is that for every buy there is a sell.

For example:
Put in an order to sell a stock that is a dormant shell, with no activity for months... Before the day is finished you will get your sell.

But WHO is buying it?

Answer: The Market Maker(s)

So how do they slow down a feeding frenzy? They widen the spread for hours and paint (or cook) the book until they reach a certain # of shares that forces their hand.

Only problem is: They have alot of variance obviously.
