transaction cost of $35, he was able to purchase 7 shares at $123 each. Having watched the / a8 q4 ]& ~' Z- O9 J1 e

purchased 33 cases of beer. John also

Jim, of course, was appalled by John's purchase, and berated him S2 a8 S& E! b+ f" V
constantly about it. As months went by, Jim excitedly watched the stock prices, and saw it start to
