Contempt for Small Investors

No doubt the § topic is real and sourcable but removed the fact checked sentence about it in favor of general contextual improvements. Since it's a likely candidate for a NPOV violation, put it back with a source. 72.228.150.44 (talk) 21:22, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have a source for this but if your "friend" from Goldman calls you an odd lotter he doesn't mean it as a compliment. :) I'm fine keeping it out though. I moved your change that made this article about odd lots. This article is about odd lotters, a term I believe is unique to finance, and thus worthy of an encyclopedia entry and not a simple dictionary definition. --JayHenry (talk) 22:49, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wiktionary note?

It's nowhere to be found in the article. 67.243.6.204 (talk) 21:54, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was in my orginal edit, but now redundant with the wiktionary template. The point of the text appositional to the title was because "odd lot" redirects here. 72.228.150.44 (talk) 00:15, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
