>>WHO THE HELL SELLS 1 SHARE OF STOCK?<<

I sold short 1 share of CMGI the other day by accident. Did you buy that?

I was doing a short test on the stock and scrolled the price up to get it out of range but wasn't watching what I was doing. I had the scroll feature set to 1/32 instead of my usual 1/16, so the amount of time that I scrolled didn't take me out of range, and oops! I was short a share (and up about $5 in the next minute, which doesn't quite cover the round-trip).

So, I called MB and, seeing as I was in positive territory with it, they graciously took the share off my hands <g>.
