That’s kind of what I had in mind, I don’t really know if it’s feasible or not but if I had billions of dollars deposited in my Robinhood account just made the order for that many shares, would it not go through?

Typically this is what you see on a stock: > Bid [500 x $64.39], [$64.42 x 100] Ask It means that someone currently offers to buy 500 shares at the price of $64.39. It means that someone currently offers to sell 100 shares at the price of $64.42. In practice, it means that you can buy 100 shares at the price of $64.42, then, after, it will move to the next price level. => You can see the "depth" of offers, it's calle…

Why doesn't Apple just buy this company instead of fighting with them?

It was probably much cheaper to just gut their consumer engineering team instead. The whole company is focused a lot on medical devices Apple wants no part of, they just want the consumer part. Though it feels like an oversight to me. In this field, like in telecom modems, patents mean a lot, so I also wonder why didn't Apple seek to buy out the consumer part of Masimo along with their patent portfolio. Maybe they di…

   a plurality of emitters configured to emit light, each of the emitters comprising at least two light emitting diodes (LEDs);
   
   four photodiodes arranged within the user-worn device and configured to receive light after at least a portion of the light has been attenuated by tissue of the user;
   
   a protrusion comprising a convex surface including separate openings extending through the protrusion and lined with opaque material, each opening positioned over a different one associated with each of the four photodiodes, the opaque material configured to reduce an amount of light reaching the photodiodes without being attenuated by the tissue;
   
   optically transparent material within each of the openings; and
   
   one or more processors configured to receive one or more signals from at least one of the four photodiodes and output measurements responsive to the one or more signals, the measurements indicative of the oxygen saturation of the user.

It's pretty nontrivial to buy a majority interest in any public company. It's not like you can just spend 1/2 the current market cap to acquire it, the price will shoot up drastically as soon as the market is aware of someone (especially Apple) trying to do it.

> the price will shoot up drastically as soon as the market is aware of someone Will that still happen if you put in a single order to buy 51% of all the shares at a price a little above the current market value ? That trade will be complete before the market "sees" you are trying to buy a ton.
