Folks, I wonder if you've tried to place a small buy order online - say $30.00 - just to see what happens and received a message like this:

"Rejected. Value of order is below a marketable parcel - currently $500 (excl. brokerage & fees)"

So how about these one share order bids and offers and one share being traded either at a higher or lower price being disallowed?

How about everyone being forced to place a minimum $500 order at any price - that includes the scamming BOTS?

The system stinks.
