Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Just how do market makers work and set prices

I am asked this question by a long suffering reader in relation to Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) and do my best to answer. I look at IQE (IQE),the curious share dealing of Mr Drew Nelson and whether I’d be tempted. I still see no sign of the IPO of Zak Mir’s crazy media investment company which he said was imminent two weeks ago. Is it Lift off?  I comment on Bluebird Merchant Ventures (BMV)  and then have a detailed look at Sarah Willingham’s Nightcap (NGHT) in light of today’s expose. It really is a one way bet.Down.

Minoan and the utterly transparent Market Makers – pass the sick bowl (again)

I have used Minoan (MIN) before as an example of how market makers operate. When I pointed this out before (HERE) I was told that they provide liquidity. No, they just manipulate share prices to ensure that they make enough money to pay for the cocaine and hookers this weekend. The transparency is obvious. 

Shares in Minoan moved ahead sharply this morning on the back of reports

How do Market Makers Rig Prices – Minoan a possible case study?

Is the bid offer spread and the movement on that spread a reflection of underlying buy/sell demand in a stock? You would have hoped so but it is not. Market makers move prices to suit their book not to reflect underlying demand. My case study here is Minoan (MIN).
