Multiple purchases of the same share

[moneybunny]

Hi, good day, could someone please explain why an investor would purchase the same share the same price and the same amount. Rather than purchasing a larger quantity once?? e.g. 7 25 Aug 2016 09:36 708 8720 61 738 8 25 Aug 2016 09:36 708 8720 61 738 9 25 Aug 2016 09:36 708 8720 61 738 10 25 Aug 2016 09:36 708 8720 61 738 Thanks for your help.

Thanks Simon, now I understand it's for institutional investors and investment funds who want to hold a large number of shares in multiple, identical blocks.

How do you monitor these multiple trades. On this site you can only see the last 10 trades at any time.

Hi, if your using Std Bnk online share trading, go to Instruments, shares. Type in the share your interested in e.g. Woolies, tick live and click quote. Once in the share scroll down and you will se the last 30 trades for that share.
