Explanation:

Stock market specialists execute purchase or sale orders commissioned by a stockbroker. In the same way, when there are not enough buyers or sellers, specialists buy or sell on their own against the market trend.

Specialists play a role comparable to that of an air traffic controller: just as air traffic controllers are in charge of maintaining order among aircraft in flight, specialists maintain a fair and orderly market in the values assigned to them.
