thats a clear yes....but why?????? hell a 3K order for 1/32 is near 100 bucks......is this why I use an on line broker????? I think technology should be able to handle decimals or fractions! I have since grade school! Placing the order by phone is s--t, I use real time trades to place the order at the last trade and they make you up it 1/16th.....or you do not get the fill unless it drops a 1/16 then they fill, the result is the same.....and be careful about placing market orders, even if you see real time trade at 3 1/2 ,place a market order to sell and you may get 3 1/8th, this happened to me, then the stock moves right back to the 1/2 price....amazing isn't it...I think you take the tiger by the tail if you go mkt order!!! always use limit....or accept the consequences!!!!lovely game what?
