well that is true. yes and the buy sell thing is also correct. so someone is selling at 2 and also buying at 2. well the buys have been very large today so there is some renewed interest here
Doesn't work that way. The 1's are solely for the pleasure of the MMs, not the retailer. By the time any retailers are getting filled in size at 1 then that means the MMs are offloading any surplus inventory before they abandon the bid. This is why people saying they are not getting filled at 1 are more lucky than they can imagine because getting fills at one is a prelude to the No Bid zone and you don't want that. You don't get the ones, the MMs do. You buy at 2 and sell at 1 or 2. Thats just basic operating procedures and people have been very misinformed about this.
