I sold 5,000 @ 2.48 in the last 10 minutes. Needed to lighten the load just a wee bit. The transaction went very smoothly and did not depress the B & A. It took 4 transactions for the MM to dumy all 5k, but they got it done.
Currently 17,000 on the ask at 2.45. Some posters keep referring to the "MM". On the AMEX, trading is run by a specialist. It is not like the NAZ, where there are market makers.
