Did you see that trade?

[Toppert1]

BMO put in a buy for tens of thousands of shares at 11:59.

It was a market order.

The stock was offered .66, and the order took the stock to .70 in one minute. 

Why on Earth would someone looking to buy this in size, relative to volume, put in a market order, rather than a limit order they could raise throughout the day?

The only possible answers are three.

Either the buyer is a novice, or the broker should be fired, or it was an attempt at manipulation. 

As it turns out, they would have been filled going to .68.

Think about it. An order for just under $35,000 temporarily raised the company's market cap $11,220,000. Don't bother debating it, it's a fact. That's what you're dealing with.

BMO bought 100 000 shares totalling more than $ 67000 not $35000. As for the reasons for a market order buy, a good one is : he wanted those shares, the ask quantity was there within a reasonable margin. TOCKY8008

My memory is often off by a penny. But you are definitely right. $70,000 invested at market and filled within a minute took the market cap upYou are absolutely right.   I didn't use a
