On a more serious note. Could it be that these are buys made by people who can't afford anything else? And by that I mean, I think there are probably more than a few people who started out with whatever amount of cash, probably a small amount, and were hoping beyond hope to make a killing in penny stocks. Many of these folks have been "cold busted" to the point they can't make much of a buy because now they only have a few bucks in their accounts. I see these small buys as an attempt to at least get back to somewhere around even with the board. Maybe there are a lot of other reasons for such small purposes but I can't think of any right now.
