About 2 years ago Zecco had really poor trade executions and to make up for it they gave out free trades for a month.

Being the nerd that I am, I tried to make as many trades as possible during the month and test the theory of marginal utility.I probably bought 1 share of EFFC over 100 times in a month.

That's the strange thing about the market, you can never know exactly why something happened. Just a collection of individuals employing means to attain ends. I never stopped to think that there was someone on the other side of the trade that was getting screwed. Sorry to whomever sold me one share. I guess it was a cheap lesson in setting aon orders.
