Neither look like something I would buy. Both of these companies are in the worst possible space right now.

Answer 2

You just enter your order with your brokerage firm at a price that you think is fair and equitable for you

You can enter an open order (GTC), and if the stock gets to your price you will buy it.

All orders entered are "live" whether the order is enter by a broker over the phone or you enter the order on-line.  They are all routed the same way to the same market.

Buying 200 shares is not buying in "bulk", but then again there is no sure term as buying in "bulk".  These stock trades, like most others, in units of 100 shares,  For these securities an order for 10,000 might be considered a large order, anything smaller would just be a routine order.
