math_man, Not always, Not when most of us here are sitting with IOU'S in our accounts, and ALL shares are sitting in bulk form at the DTCC depository in street name.(Brokers Names)
The MM'S have total access to those shares, however it dose not take a sell by any of us to fill a buy when shares are in street name, MM'S are in full control.(stock market 102)
