And don't forget they have plenty of tool in the cupboard to help us out quite literally'' before a stock reach it's full potential
Quote Stuffing: This involves rapidly placing and canceling orders to create confusion and manipulate market prices. It can lead to price volatility that may disadvantage retail traders.
Wash Trading: Market makers may engage in wash trading, where they buy and sell the same asset to create the illusion of high trading volume and interest. This can mislead retail investors into thinking there is more demand than there actually is.
Front Running: This refers to the practice of executing orders on a security for their own account while taking advantage of advance knowledge of pending orders from customers. This can result in retail investors getting worse prices.
Spoofing: Market makers might place large orders they do not intend to execute to manipulate the market price. Once the price moves in the desired direction, they cancel the orders and profit from the shift.
Bid-Ask Spread Manipulation: Market makers can widen the bid-ask spread, which is the difference between the buying price and the selling price. A larger spread can hurt retail investors who often trade at market prices.
Trading Against Retail Orders: Sometimes, market makers may trade against retail orders, taking the other side of the trade and profiting at the expense of the retail investor.
Information Asymmetry: Market makers often have access to more information and faster trading technology than retail investors, allowing them to react to news and market changes more swiftly.
Pennying: This involves placing orders at prices just below the market price to capture retail investor orders, effectively "stealing" their trades
