Brokers prefer to work with bigger blocks. $5 per stock share, you'd
still end up with a number of takers happy to buy 100 shares each, and
$100 would get you 20 shares, which would probably make the broker
happier than just 1 share. (That would bring it to 22 million shares
total.) (I don't know that you can buy much stock without a broker
getting involved, but there are fairly cheap discount brokers around
these days that don't add much to the cost of buying & selling stocks.)
