Can stocks have less then a one percent change?

Posted by Eric LeRiche | April 22, 2010 .

Chris D asked:

I know a stocks value can go up by a wholenumber followed by a decimal but can it just go up by a decimal. Such as when you look at a chart a particular stock can change say 3.3%. But do stocks ever change by less then 1% like .5%?
