As to grabbing 40K shares. I bought 20K this morning. I use Scottrade. I just put in a limit buy order between the B and A, and let it ride. This morning there was a lot of bouncing around and the broker snagged it in one purchase. But even if the they broke it up, they still only charge me one brokerage fee for one requested purchase amount.
