yeah, i think this explanation perfectly explains it:

"I ask my money-manager friend Jim what is going on. "Oh, yeah," he says immediately. "That's called painting the tape. Traders sometimes do it at the end of the day to make a stock portfolio look larger." They also do it, I contend, to suck in unsuspecting investors."

makes sense to only buy a little amount of shares
