Some are wondering about what happened to Mackie "083", long a market maker for SVA.
I was fortunate to speak with Sernova and it turns out that Mackie is still a market maker.
When one looks at Integral Wealth "017" and Mackie Research "083", one sees that Mackie is a long established, think old guard, type of House.
Whereas Integral wealth (017) is brand new having started in 2003, i.e. it uses a new approach to market making and it is tapped into Europe (think Germany).
The following excerpts illustrate that "017" uses a different market making approach to "083". Nowhere in Mackie do you get this kind of detail.
I also note that it is my guess that the goon squad was checking "017" out this morning after the news release. The computers were busy all of a sudden (500 share lots). Based on the present price of $0.285 on just under 400k, "017" passed the test.

Market making has three main functions:
i) to maintain an orderly market
ii) to enhance liquidity
iii) to provide market intelligence
All of these functions are linked. By definition, an orderly market requires a reasonable level of liquidity. If a stock’s liquidity is improved, it will display trading characteristics that make it more appealing to investors. Wider investor participation creates a more orderly market which in turn attracts more liquidity. Quality market intelligence creates opportunities for trade which would not otherwise exist, thereby enhancing liquidity.
