I did a flick thru the Course of Sales in several companies today[BBG,MRL,PTD,PBG and UXC]From a total of Less than Ten,these five showed evidence of Multiple Small[under $1000,some under $500 total]trades in sequence throughout the Day.
I've carried on about this activity before[CBH]but it seems to me to be becoming a widespread,every day activity and I can't make any,not a bit, of sense to WHY it's happening.

These are Patently UnEconomic Trades to a small investor/punter because of the Brokerage.

They occur too frequently and across the Board in different shares to be'random'.

It has been suggested this is Funds adjusting to the Index.I reject this explanation because of the frequency and micro$ nature of the Trades[frequently less than $100 worth of BBG was involved today]
