I occassionally own one share of various stocks that I'm interested in to force me to pay attention to it's price movement.
When commissions are zero it's easy.

I'll also point that (I think) the broker's generally only show prices where the lot is 100 shares or more. So......if someone puts a 20 share order between the spread, we may not see it, but we'll get 20 shares filled at that level if we pay the offer or hit the bid.

Similar thing happens with options. Some options allow us to put in penny limit orders, so if the market is 90 cents at 95 cents, we can put in a limit order to buy at 91 cents. But others may not see our 91 cent bid, at least I don't, I know see prices in nickel increments.
