Buy or sell listing makes no difference to the sp.
Is not the MMs that are reporting buys or sells. If the trade is below the midpoint between bid/ask then is logged as a sell, if it is above the midpoint is logged as a buy. If the trade is at the midpoint is logged as a ?.
At the end of the day, if there are more shares available for sale than shares looking for a buy, the SP goes down, if there are less the SP goes up. If they balance out, the SP stays were it is.
There is no conspiracy there. Take a look at Alba, went up 28% on Friday with the following share volume statistics as reported on moneyam:
Buy volume: 85,041,702
Sell volume: 140,632,908
? volume: 14,353,077
Sell volume a lot higher than buy volume, yet the SP saw a 28% rise.
