If that is a OTC BB stock? that's your problem those stocks do not trade like NASDAQ or NYSE, and it could be that you cant do just 1 share on your platform you use I'm not sure. But i do know that OTC stocks are known for that very un liquid stocks sometimes, especially stocks that are that price. good luck to you beck5012

Hi, beck5012,
I don’t have the answer to your question, but I am curious why you’re trying to sell 1 share at al1.
What Am I missing ?
Do you mean that you can’t sell any shares of a large quantity at $0.0002 each or do you really mean just 1 share?
If you mean just 1 share, which I doubt, why would you want to waste the commission ? If it’s for income tax purposes, couldn’t your broker just simply remove your 1 share for you to claim the capital loss ?
