Now, do you really understand that when you buy a single share of stock it will line Mr. gaylen brothersons pockets because he owns cactus completely? Even if there were sellers here at one time before, they're surely long gone. You just take your money and give it to him. No chance of return. No chance of investment. No chance of interest. No chance of wealth. You will be giving him your money. A good deal for Mr. brotherson I'd say. You could save your commission and just write him a check I guess. Maybe mail him a money order? The stock no longer has to be "washed" through the company treasury, you hand him money. That's what you now have clones. What a waste
