Alan, I don't know why this is not getting through to you: If your bid is not for the minimum displayable number of shares, it will not be seen by any market maker except the one to which your brokerage firm sends the order. For every other market maker, that order may as well not exist. They don't know it's there.
Alan, any proof anyone is short this stock currently? I can't find any, but would love to see what you have as evidence. http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/teve/short-interest http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/teved/short-interest ----------------- Not ready yet to pay $99.00 per share but am thinking once someone does I may get filled for another share as those short will not want to see the stock priced at that level.
