Sell orders at $0.9999

I see many sell orders with a price of $0.9999. Wouldn't buying at that price lead to a guaranteed loss once the $0.0035 trade fee is added? Is there any reason to buy a stock at $0.9999 or is it just a trap set for the unwary?

It's a hack to get the stock on the Active Orders part of your My Portfolio page, which has the advantage of a Today's Change column that the rest of the page doesn't have.

Ah, thanks eeyore, I wouldn't have thought of that myself.

heavy traders won't have to worry about the 0.0035 transaction fee if they've got through their $5 per month.... but there's no real attraction in buying at 0.9999 or selling at 0.0001 unless you already know the outcome and know the stock will close soon.

I think most of the buy at 0.0001 and sell at 0.9999 orders are by ipredict's bots anyway.
