Bottom line, there is no way anyone can legitimately say that one stock should have a set of rules to prevent market maker abuse and another stock should not have the same protection. As for market makers saying they are protecting investors by weeding out unworthy companies I have 4 things to say to that: 1) Any experienced investor has had plenty of experience that proves that statement a lie. 2) I don't need or want their protection. 3) Who died and made them judge of what I should pay for a stock. Thanks for hearing my comments. Ryland Hobson, experienced BB investor
