So sell a small block of shares for a low price to cause the ticker to drop, which flushes out investors that are worried they are losing their capital.
Sell off occures, MM get cheap shares, and then they fufil the contracts in the aloted time per the FCC.
So I ask, what happens if the MM cannot get the shares that you or I purchased? What happens on the settlement date if they cannot complete their end of the contract?
