This article seems very UK-centric, despite token mentions of South Africa and the US. Certainly the LSE is not the only exchange in the world to use market makers! Is there a survey article somewhere which describes the differences among the major systems of financial markets? (Besides the one described here, open outcry and electronic auction markets would seem to be the other major kinds. Have I missed any?) 18.24.0.120 20:57, 7 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Someone has added a great FAQ but it looks like a cut'n'paste job and so there might be a copyright violation. What is the source of the material? Paul Beardsell 14:11, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)
I added in some more U.S.-centric information on market-makers. This is my first edit so please let me know if there's some issue with it. rJames383
The material on this page seems out of date. Last edits were in June 2006. Someone knowledgeable (definitely not me!) should edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.200.128.3 ( talk) 20:18, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
i heard that the stock market creashes and most of new york lost it's stock to NASDA need less to say the company was on a down fall —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.118.184.226 ( talk) 15:14, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Has anyone pointed out that this article is awful? It is superficial and in some parts grossly inaccurate. Figureofnine ( talk) 14:49, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
This sentence "A market maker aims to make money by buying stock at a lower price than the price at which they sell it, or selling the stock at a higher price than they buy it back. Ordinarily they can make money in both rising or falling markets, by taking advantage of the difference between "bid" and "offer" prices." (if this were true, then we all were "market makers") contradicts the introduction, according to which both things are to be done at the same time. -- Alex1011 ( talk) 22:41, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
" In return, the specialist is granted various informational and trade execution advantages."
- Various information and trade executions is a vaguephrase. What are the advantages given? A table with the specific advantages for each Exchange would be nice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.29.10.178 ( talk) 19:13, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

17:41, 3 May 2023 (UTC)Someone who knows well what a market maker is should take a look at that section, from my side of knowing something of decentralized network protocols (but I suppose they're actually trying to refer to things like bitcoin) it seems nonsensical.
It was introduced by the revision 1011277498 and made arguably even worse by the subsequent edit
Out of curiosity I found the full pdf of the paper referenced in the section and it has nothing to do with market makers (absolutely no mention)... 🙄
