MM's suppressing the price of a stock makes as much sense as a grocer who tries to make money by removing the inventory on his shelves, while waiting for some indefinite period of time for prices to go up by an unknown amount. Once the prices go up, there will be a lot of money to be made. But in the interim, by keeping the shelves bare, he forgoes whatever money he can make until the prices start to rise in a manner beyond his control.
No one, not even the MMs, knows when the POP will come. It may not happen until the end of the year. Why would MMs suppress the price of a stock and thereby decrease their own profits for an unknown, indefinite period of time? Makes no sense.
