No, they do not. But the thing is they either don't care or they can't comprehend. I VERY much understand wanting more shares. You get more by buying at a lower price. I get that, believe me, I do. But sometimes it hurts a ticker to bid sit. Bit sitters want the stock price to go DOWN. We make money when then stock price goes UP, not down.
If you, the reader sitting on the bid at .0006, were to pay at the ask, you could help eat away those .0007 shares on the ask, and if someone else and another person did the same, all the 7's could be gone and the next seller is at .0008 and just like that we see green going from 6 to 7 and quite possibly more people buying at the ask move us to .0008. More green! Sellers see this buying and they do NOT lower their prices, they can actually raise their prices and with more people buying at the ask, UP we go.
This is ultimately a very good thing for the health of the stock. It helps shareholder confidence that people are willing to pay the asking price, and a good thing also for new buyer confidence who see this as a ticker that is not sitting and sitting and sitting trading infinitely sideways or having red day after red day.
Obviously some aren't intelligent enough to understand all this but why don't some people even care? I don't know.
It's in YOUR hands, buyers, the ability to help move a stock price UP by buying at the ask.
We could see green day after green day after green day if more people simply bought at the ask.
