Odd lot – If you are about to buy stocks, mostly you will not buy one or two at once. You will go for a bunch of shares. When you are buying shares in an IPO, there will be a restriction to buy stocks only in lots of a predefined number of shares. However, this will not be there if you buy in live markets. But there is a system of buying shares in lots consisting of two categories of shares. One will consist of a round 100 shares and the other will have any number of shares other than the multiples of 100. If you buy shares in lots with a number less than or more than a multiple of 100, you are buying an 碎股. Immature investors are considered to be buying shares in odd lots.

Round lot – As the name suggests, the number of shares contained in these lots will be a round value which is a multiple of hundred. Long-term and intellectual investors would consider buying stocks in round lots.
Rights issue – At certain times, public companies will need some quick money. If they decide to go with a second IPO, it will take a long processing time. So, they can choose to do a rights issue.

It will be lower than the original value to tempt the shareholders to buy them.
