What is with the pattern of filling the first open order with 1 share and then moving on to fill other orders with many more shares at the same price? We noted this occurred on Friday and now we see the same pattern here today? What is the significance of the one share? Is it an attempt to put a single share to someone with an open order so they get burned with the broker's commission for the day's partial fill? Is this a market maker's order desk tactic to discourage those sitting on the sidelines with unfilled open orders? Seems sort of pointless, but still very strange. Gives the impression of not keeping an orderly market as the regs require.
