Hi bartlebobton, You answered your question yourself in your post, you wanted 20000 shares in one lump sum that would only of made the MMs/BROKERS £12.50 a deal (commission ), by the MMs/BROKERS making you buy 4 chunks you have now paid the MMs/BROKERS £50 (commission 4x £12.50) the MMs/BROKERS have now made a profit of £37.50 instead of just £12.50. They apply this quite legal ploy on all AIM/FTSE/ LSE shares every time they can so the profit is MEGA,MEGA,MEGA. If you are a heavy trader who makes over 25 deals a month on Hargreaves Lansdown you dont pay any commission on your deals so they will then sell you 20000 in this case as one lump sum because they dont make nothing on your deals.
Another way to sum it up what they have done to you,me and everyone who invests in AIM shares is " ripping the punters off " ???
P.S. The same applies when you want to sell they will not take huge chunks, because you are probably selling at a profit and hence they want a share of it, on Hargreaves Lansdown if you dont trade frequently you have to pay a deal fee to sell them. Dick Turpin could not hold a candle to them !!!
