"MM'S TRADE TO MAKE MONEY NOT TO PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE SHARE PRICE".....TRUE , BUT ONLY PARTLY...

Are these people like you and I, doing our own thing ? Or do they first have a job to perform ? Why are they there ? Supposedly they are supposed to make an orderly market in a given stock...
AND I SAY THIS....When I see , day after day, large spreads intra day, closed only after most trading is almost brought to a halt, when the obvious PREDISPOSITION is DOWN....When a company has so many positive announcements in the past and projected for the future...and when some anticipated exchange rules are soon to govern shorting adversely effecting these same "PEOPLE", then I say they are not doing their JOB...If they can't support HRCT'S share price here ,who then can they support...

Maybe you think I ask too much...On the big board they buy in to shares that are under pressure...They are supposed to do just that....Now, it's possible that the BB market does not provide for that function, but then , it may...But in any event, as I said before, if they can't keep at least a neutral market in HRCT, then who?
