I just saw someone buy 10 shares of GE for 9.84. Why would you buy only 10 shares, just the commission makes it a dumb idea. Aint worth the effort.
Could be a person with $100 to spend on the market....Granny Smith or a college kid. Why should we care?
when? premarkt\after regular hours? there is could be number of reasons..i recieve partial fills all the time...tens of them each day..you place an order to buy 100, got 1..what can you do?
there are those that would say why bother trading a measly 5000 shares there are those that say why waste your time trading at all
