Rats have to keep chewing or their teeth will keep growing until they can't eat anymore and starve to death. I wish these rats would go chomp on something else.

Looking at the chart pjecan posted--Can somebody please explain to me how a 5 share trade can send a stock down a penny?  I know being able to trade commission free has led to a lot of this happening but do not understand how such a small trade can do that to the price in either direction.

I checked in on some trading house sites and below I will list the types of Algo's
