en-ru -- биржевая арифметика

[grey-hound-me.livejournal.com]

Что-то не могу разобраться с арифметикой на бирже. Идет вот такой диалог:
Q: If it was screaming up, did you buy the offers?
A : If I thought I was early enough — those days with fractions you could—there could be a quarter- or half-point spread in some of these things. If you entered 1,000 shares you’re down $250 out of the gate. But sometimes you just get the feel for the way the markets and these stocks were moving. It was only by trading four or five stocks that I developed a feel and was in-sync with how they move.
Ну хорошо, спреды были большие во времена котировок в дробных долях. Но почему человек влетает на 250 долларов, купив 1000 акций? Или это не только на спреде?

One quarter point = $0,25. $0,25 x 1000 = $250

Спасибо большое. Почему-то меня заклинило на совсем других размерах пункта.
