Here was my experience today, as I posted on another board.
For any interested, there was no dropping the price today for some buys I had and helped others make. I was not involved in the early 9,800, but then bought 8,000 between $.49 and $.52. The $.49 was around 10:40 with Interactive Brokers, but then had to pay $50, $.52, and $51 with TDA (TD Ameritrade). A further open order at $.51 from maybe 3:15 to 4:00, went unfilled. We should find out who TDA deals with.
I called the TDA trading desk twice this afternoon for bid/ask and was told $.48/$.51, and later $.50/$.51.
After the first call I tried to buy at $.51 and could not get a fill, so later moved it to $.52, and was filled. You can see that spike up for the day on a chart. (I still consider that a great bargain.)
