I and a friend in early jan decided to sit staring all day at the trades on only three stocks, bradford and bingly, batm advanced communications and halifax, batm had around half a dozen 1 share trades and bradford and bingly/halifax had around a dozen each, there hasn't been any significant change in eithers share price since, therefore i add no weight to the one share trade being a code, unless its a code for no significant share price change out of the ordinary comming right up!lol

A one trade went through on Beale (BAE) on Friday.

Could be the next development idea for John - a top list of single share trades....just for fun of course....and then some retrospective analysis might shed light on the degree of correlation with corporate action.

Pommy - what about the 100 shares bought in Orchard Furniture the other day - was that you ? I think it was at the same time as your ORCHARD APPLES RIPE FOR PICKING POST.

sometimes I am told that 1 shares on SETS would be the MM training up trainees and showing them the works.

[scripophilist] 25/1/2001 17:53

I've had to buy 1 share when using selftrade, as their quote system is odd- if the actual current quote is lower than the quote they have, you can still only buy as many shares as your funds will allow at their quote- so to get the number you want you have to top up afterwards.

I can only do this this month because Im trading commission free.

But (for the paranoid among you!!!)I assure you there was no test trading or market making motivation involved

Pommy,
Why dont you say what you mean.

Mike - when you say trade code you mean as in "60171EAC01" above? If so where do I find the translation?

dr agon - think it's a bug in the ofex site, seen it a few times.A

Sometimes you will find that brokers will put through 1 or odd small numbers of shares as a'riskless principal transaction' to enable an average price contract to be issued.

If you see small numbers go through its worth having a look at the trade code detail.

Single Company PEP accounts (and probably some other types of accounts) will often mop up dividend income by accumulating more shares in the company, so this may account for some of the small share transactions people see.

[jhurbanek] 24/1/2001 23:28

Pommy - On-line dealing. You could buy 1000 shares 1 at a time if you had the inclination. Hey what a good way to average out your purchase ;-)

This is happening all the more frequently and coincidently the broker Selftrade are operating a commission free trading month for all existing account holders. I would not be suprised if there is not a lot of test trading and/or mischief making going on from these account holders.

Regards,

John

People buy 1 share to get company reports. Brokers do it to correct errors.
There are more subtle ways of signalling than this. If you wanted to do it with a trade the last thing you would do is pick a 1 share trade!

My theory: Advfn's problems are somehow impacting on the exchange's data. Maybe it's a virus creeping against the flow of data on the exchange feed to ADVFN.

If that's not the case then its probably human in origin. We may have to use guinea pigs to solve the riddle. One of us volunteers to do a one-share trade and then we all ask that person why they did it.

[humbugg] 24/1/2001 19:55

Also 1 share in NTY
