Strange trading on my schwab account... I put an

Strange trading on my schwab account... I put an order in at the ask first thing in the morning. Nothing... The trade spread listed as wide 14.4-15.2. I decided to put in a small order of just 5 on the ask... nothing for the last hour... I changed it to a Market order and it went through at 15.75... although the price on the accounts page is static at 15.0. Never seen this before. On such great news it is hard for people to buy! Of course can't put a large order on at Market Order or you'll get screwed by MMs! Others on the other board are having similar issues... Is there a way that the current price and thus buy/sell orders can be halted or manipulated by MMs? Being on the OTC would already make new investors nervous, but this kind of action would make any new investor step back for sure. Bad timing for a glitch damn it!
