So, one other question. How is it that a purchase by one person of only 100 shares can have that much of an effect on the stock price?


Is it because this stock has had no volume long enough for one purchase to literally set a new price? I've watched stocks that are being traded throughout the day and those price fluctuations make sense. This just seems odd to me.

Pardon my ignorance. I'm really new to this. I'm trying to learn from following everyone on the boards, but I miss a lot of the details. If you want to send me to a link with info instead of explaining, I totally understand....

Thanks!
