comment Order submission strategies of a rational market maker?
@richardh Intra day short sells (short sells that are netted against a long position before the end of the trading day) are often provided for free by the sponsoring broker. This holds even for a lot of retail brokers. Since the market maker can be assumed to close all his positions by the end of the day short sells are literally free.

chris: Yes, I upvoted answers that I felt demonstrated real world hft/quant experience, and most of your answers certainly do. Sorry didn't know that multi-upvoting was discouraged. Won't do that again.

comment How are dual class shares different from non dual class shares from a market makers' perspective?
Maybe I'm missing something but you write "would be more interested in making a market with the higher volatility Bar shares". Doesn't the inventory risk of the market maker increase with volatility. That is, doesn't a rational prefer (ceteris paribus) to make a market in a low volatility asset?
