If for example I bought $1000 shares of Dell at 82 or 82.125 it really doesn't matter. If I sold it later in the day for 85... If you could do it every time then of course it wouldn't matter. But you can't. Nobody can. That's why 1/16th's and 1/8th's do matter. Let me repeat since you seemed to missed it: you will lose 65% of what you would otherwise make in a single year when you don't pay attention to those 1/16th's and trade twice a day. How is that fighting over pennies Don? And I do take care of my trades; I am up 200% on a year.
