This is true. After all, it is a stock market, which is composed of buyers and sellers. If no one is willing to sell just one share, no one will be buying just one share.
When it comes to something like that, it's more a question of who is willing to buy one share, rather than someone willing to sell one. That's why there are companies you can go to to buy one share (and get the certificate).

It's the market maker's job to fill your order, and they will. Somewhat unintuitively, it's the really large orders that are harder to fill.
It's super easy. I put in an order for share and it's executed immediately. Every online broker does this. If you're talking about "full service" (I.e., expensive) broker assisted firms, you may be right.
You're lucky. I know of cases where people put orders in for a few shares and waited for an hour before it went thought. They had to buy at market to do that too.

Don't blame the order size for delayed execution when the trader used a limit order, and the market wasn't willing to meet their price.
Actually, I'm disappointed. It started out well moving up about $4.50 quickly. But as the market slumped early, it never recovered, even though the market picked up again. The Nasdaq closed up around 1%. I expected Apple to track around that, and break $650 in closing. Came pretty close early on.
Apple shares completely lost momentum and will be unlikely to reach $650 pre-split. Without any new hardware, even with the split coming, investors aren't going to give away any more money to Apple to drive up the share price. Investors are busily pouring money into Amazon because of the Amazon smartphone with the revolutionary 3D UI and half-dozen cameras. Investors see the Amazon smartphone far more exciting than Apple's iPhone 6. Most of Wall Street is rather certain Jeff Bezos doesn't make mistakes and this new smartphone will greatly cut into iPhone market share. Amazon will probably offer it at a very low cost and provide lots of free initial content for it just to get consumers to buy it. It's quite amazing that only a short teaser of the Amazon smartphone has been shown and already Wall Street is going crazy over it. A 5% share price pop for an unannounced smartphone is only something Amazon could pull off. Wall Street really has a lot of faith in Amazon.

Wel'll see where it goes tomorrow. Could get interesting.

Well, it would just mean a bit over two and a half bucks tomorrow. It's possible, unless there are a lot of cold feet.
As for Bezos, the market thinks he's a genius. I don't. I think he's pretty clever though. His biggest talent is making major investors think that huge profits are just around the corner.
This outsized interest in this phone, if indeed that's what it is, seems to be solely due to the fabled 3D UI we're hearing about. If so, that's a mistake. If they do have this then what it shows is that they haven't learned from history. The problems with 3DS films, and with a certain percentage of people getting ill from them.
Nintendo's problems with the 3DS, where they had to put a slider on the thing to cut down and eliminate any 3D effects, effects that were to be used for gameplay, but couldn't, because users from around 13 and below would suffer visual growth I late,ent from it.
And of course, from Apple, whose rather minor 3D effects for the background on its mobile devices reportedly also maki g some people I'll, and which were toned down with an update.
I don't know how this will fare, but it doesn't seem like a good idea. Amazon needed some major feature to brag about, and this is it, apparently. Otherwise, why buy one?
No. Any broker should fill an order for one share at the same price and with the same speed as any other order. See post #20 to see several two share orders bring filled at normal prices.
It's like I don't mind if gas prices go up or down. I always fill for $50;-)
I guess that accomplishes some price averaging, but that would work even better in $10 increments--or heck, a buck at a time. Whatever the amount, it's inefficient in terms of how often you have to go to the station.
What's your motivation? Or is it just habit?
I'd like to see it break $650. I don't know if it's a real psychological barrier or not.
I'm guessing we'll see a dramatic jump in the morning, like we've seen every morning for the past week. I have no intentions on selling anyway, but this is the new pattern (at least until the split).
Are you planning any buy-sell activity? I just buy and hold everything.

Good close today... $647.35.
Order size is part of that.

Gulfstream V (or whatever is trendy with the billionaires these days) will get him there lickety-split!
Yeah - that, three hos and an eight-ball. Should make for a good music video.

And that’s nonsense.
The more he does, the bigger the explosion when Amazon inevitably falls.
You need a new broker. Right away.
