"And is it not true that a firm having at least one MM for making market for their shares would require the MM to buy at least some great amount of their shares? An agreement with the firm?"
not nessissarily they only need the initial shares to distribute into the market from my understanding..
that mm can also be there for the company should they decide to further dilute the share structure of a given company.
