4.1 million buy !

Very positive day for the sp so far.

What's going to happen with the next big rns?

Damp squib? Or liftoff?

I know what my money is on, literally!

You're referring to Putin's murderers invading Ukraine of course.

Taking a wider view, who benefits from this technology?

Obviously those that would otherwise be injured, or worse, but who else?

The police, the NHS, the ambulance service, the government, and many others.

The cost of drink driving accidents to the UK alone is approx £800 million a year, not to mention the loss of lives etc.

Obviously the government aren't going to pay for the tech on new cars but it's an interesting way to look at it.

As a parallel, when it snows and everywhere is iced up, the local highways grit the roads to keep the roads open and safe.

But pavements are left covered in ice.

Why? Cost !

It would likely be cost effective for local NHS hospitals to pay for pavement gritting, reducing the inevitable increase in broken bones in a and e.

Prevention is much cheaper than cure !

If you could also be a little less of a t o o l that would be terrific Maps.

Calling people r a c i s t s incorrectly is the last refuge of the intellectually bankrupt.

Don't do it again.

Thanks for clarifying it Bogyo 👍

Ai responses come with caveats that there may be errors.

Granted the link below has 5 month old data but if 640 million shares had been cancelled in the meantime, we'd probably know about it.

Ploughed through 5.

And has kept on going.

.....unless you're a shareholder of course.

I'm sure the major automotive supplier will be reassured by the "securing near term financial obligations" comment.

So if the contract hadn't been signed, payment of the ntfo would have been in question?

Not the brightest way to announce a deal.

Strong finish again today.

Just in case anyone who doesn't know why, and is interested in why single share trades are actually made, here's AI's view.

I've often wondered myself.

Please excuse the long post:

Buys of single shares appear in market data because every stock transaction, no matter how small, represents an actual exchange of ownership between a specific buyer and seller. These small, "odd lot" trades are common and appear for several reasons:

Retail Investor Activity: Individual investors, especially with commission-free trading platforms, often buy or sell in small quantities to invest specific dollar amounts, experiment with the market, or manage their personal portfolios.

Fractional Shares: The rise of fractional share investing means people can buy a portion of a share (e.g., 0.1 shares), which can lead to single full shares being traded as brokers consolidate these orders.

Automated Trading and Algorithms: Large institutional traders or market makers use automated systems that may break down large orders into many small, single-share trades to minimize market impact or manage their positions.

Market Making: Market makers are firms whose job is to always be ready to buy and sell shares to provide liquidity to the market. They constantly adjust their inventory, which involves executing small trades to balance their books.

Testing and Probing: Sometimes traders place small orders to "probe" the market for hidden limit orders or gauge supply and demand at different price points without revealing their larger intentions.

Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRIPs): These plans automatically use dividend payouts to buy more shares, often resulting in fractional or single-share purchases, which are then processed by the brokerages.

These single-share trades, especially in high-volume stocks like those on the Nasdaq, are a regular part of daily market activity and contribute to the overall price discovery process based on supply and demand.

Waited until 7.34am to reply though ;)

I don't know tbh, these unknowns get on my wick.

The only reason I thought it was a sale is that the sp dropped this morning.

No science or other knowledge involved I'm afraid.

Looks that way. I was looking forward to a little rise this morning.

Nice bit of late buying today. .

As an example, maplinman, Kota in Rajasthan, has zero traffic lights.

There are very few functional traffic lights in rural India, accounting for close to 80% of Indian land area.

So reel your neck in you woke, snowflake p r a t.

Pathetic maplinman.

You should be ashamed.

I bet you're

They've got traffic lights?
