The MM's know that a 100 share order will be carried and printed by the financial reporting sites, and sometimes they don't want that to happen. So they will break the trades up into 2, both under 100 shares, purposely so the amount or percentage loss/gain are not reflected. For instance, the last trade was at $3.75, but shows last trade at $3.25. because it wasn't printed as 100 shares. Just another MM cheap tactic to give the impression of something it isn't.

A block of stock is 100 shares. I think it's cheaper to trade in blocks than odd lots, broker fees. I trade in blocks I do not use all or nothing orders. Sometimes it takes my broker, several trades to fill my orders. Over the years I learned I sometimes I can pick the top or bottom but most of the time I can't. So I don't try. What I think works better is buy or sell over a matter of days based on market cap. That gives me a average of what I think the top or bottom is with a much higher success rate.
