Is it me or is it just weird that there's just one trade of 100 shares for this counter at shs. 11 above yesterday closing price?
I don't know why, but do you want to tell me that this broker could not have gotten the 100 shares at 50cts or 1/- more?

Check out BOC and Bamburi too...

BBI will solve it

@2012.. sometimes this happens when there's only shares available with a sell order of fixed price eg 135bob and a buy order with best market price which is limited to one day... in dec KPLC climbed 12bob in one day and was down 14bob the next...

so for NMG i dont think it is sustainable...

@guru,
You are right. It's actually below yesterday's closing now. But I still maintain that the dude who bought at 135/- needs to change his broker. He bought his shares today and even before closing he's already lost 1,300/- bila commission.

thats why ticking the section "best market price" when buying or selling stocks is a perfect recipe for disaster.. Shame on you Shame on you

Limit orders are essential unless you trust your broker!
