After its stock traded below $1 for 30 consecutive days Molycorp (MCP) received a delisting notice from the NYSE on December 30, 2014. An average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month.
The price point is partly a result of the marketâs downward pressure: at a certain level of supply and demand the race to the lowest price swiftly plummets to the bottom. What remains inflexible is the $3.99 fee Amazon charges the buyer for shipping. From that $4, Amazon takes what they call a âvariable closing feeâ of $1.35. They also charge the seller 15% of the itemâs price â which in the case of a penny book is zero. That leaves $2.64 to cover postage, acquisition cost and overhead.
