Ariel, thanks. When I came to buy yesterday, NatWest could not give me the shares but had to make a phone call to what I believe is a market maker. The conversation showed me that NatWest can be 'holding shares' as at other times they promptly quote a price and fill my order. So the shares NatWest hold, have they been bought by them to sell on? or do they have shares because say a second before someone sold? For my education can someone enlighten me to the inner workings. Yes someone may reply DYOR.
