ill agree with this "the pinks won't run, because the mm's are not going to buy stock that they can't sell. "

it sure helps when the MM's are loading the Boats and are there to help the run...

"because the mm's are not going to buy stock that they can't sell" In the pinks, the MM's don't carry much inventory, they are in the business of matching buy and sell orders.

Why do you think they don't fill people that have orders in at the ask and then you see a few people hit the bid and the SP comes down and then you see a big order fill at the bid? It's because they want to manipulate L2 and the chart to maximise the volume trading in a particular stock. MM makes money when there is volume.
