With just a little practice, you can research the financial history of a particular company, take advantage of online software that will help you choose an appropriate stock, or access real-time stock quotes. Investors can also use online information to analyze the impact of their buy and sell decisions on their portfolios and plan their future trades. Usually you buy or sell stock in multiples of 100 shares, called a round lot. But you can buy just a single share, or any number you can afford. That's called an odd lot.
Brokers often charge more to buy and sell odd lot orders.
