Not sure if it is quicker or if it just has less impact

Posted by: srrichardson (a.k.a SCIFund) on Jun 27, 03:25 in response to Dorfman's post I had never thought of this.. Is that why the price seems...

i.e. 4 separate transactions of 25000 have less impact than 1 transaction of 100000 - the back end may not be sophisticated enough to recognise that those 4 transactions in a limited period of time have come from the same account.Ā  As a side note, but related, I have always wondered if buying "max" has more or the same impact as buying the same specific number of shares - guess we'll never know.

Is it ok to buy 25000 shares 4 times or should you just buy 100000 because when I buy all at once I always end up paying 1 to 30 cents more {nm} mishra Jun 26, 15:44

Especially on starbonds..... {nm} mishra Jun 26, 15:46

Usually save the buy or sell of 100000 shares at once when I know I need to sell it immediately or lose money {nm} mishra Jun 26, 15:58

If you spread out the buying over several minutes the chuckage is less (bonds for me up to half), depends on how much pennies you want to JDolphin Jun 26, 16:09

fast movie = fast moving {nm} JDolphin Jun 26, 16:10

Ya do the mass buy when Price change is going to jump immediately....if i stall {nm} mishra Jun 26, 16:39

if you save one cent this time you make 2 cents more next time and so forth....the power of compounding. mishra Jun 26, 23:26

I had never thought of this.. Is that why the price seems to be more when buying 100000 shares? Dorfman Jun 26, 19:55

I can't say for certain, but I have a feeling that if the stock was to say move 12 cents when you max long 100k shares Oleg Max Jun 27, 04:44

Good analysis Oleg Max. I'm so used to just doing one transaction thinking that will be quicker and catching before the price moves... Dorfman Jun 27, 05:20

I've tested it with penny stocks and "chuckage" is 2 cents per 100,000 shares for those... MattW Jun 27, 10:06

That's a gem, for keeping penny purchase price down (makes for better showing off, years later). I never worked it out, myself. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Jun 27, 14:52

That can't be true all the time, I have lots of MST purchased @ 0.01, and I only trade 100,000 {nm} KaiGee Jun 27, 15:34

Hmmm, maybe it's more complicated than just 1 cent per ~40k shares. MattW Jun 27, 16:25

I have not been able to buy at 1 cent, for several years, 100K at a time, anyway. Today edzep - Port Monkey! Jun 28, 10:52

I just did 5 Buys @ 0.01 of 100,000. I am Covering them right before that, so that might make a difference. {nm} KaiGee Jun 29, 08:55
