To anyone: I've noticed that CPQ frequently trades with bid/ask volumes being 500/900, 500/500....whereas Dell will trade more frequently 2/5/10/50 etc.... Is this due to CPQ being NYSE and Dell NASDAQ....and that the MM at the NYSE are controlling the (bigger) order lots ....or just an issue of # shares outstanding...and accumulation/distribution between the big guys and little guys.....what, then, ARE the ramifications here for us little guys... I guess I'm showing a general lack of knowledge here, but it looks like Naz stocks allow you to buy/sell in much smaller lots (much more immediately)...Good thing?! Help anyone. Thanks.
