    I see this happen all the time and from my naive raw newbie perspective all I can figure is there's a guy with at least two accounts trying to tank the stock by putting up a very low bid with one acct and immediately accepting it with the other, all in a crude and ultimately fruitless attempt at stock manipulation -- except that it might also result in a few low stop orders kicking in. That part I'm not sure about nor whether that's in fact the ultimate goal. Anyone know what's going on?
