Please buy Stocks the market makers cry.
We promise to never naked short Stocks again- LOL
On Paul Atkins’ watch, market makers pose an existential threat to the stock market: broad sell‑offs triggered by High Frequency Trading on news or willfull institutional drawdown irrespective of fundamentals . This isn’t resilience—it’s distortion. High‑frequency trading hunts client stop losses, turning volatility into profit extraction. Dark pools and naked shorting have blurred the line between market makers and day traders, eroding trust in price discovery. What was meant to stabilize liquidity now resembles opportunistic churn, where invisible hands exploit structural opacity. The result is a theater of fragility, a system where the mechanics of trading override the meaning of value.
