The reporting of financial data in round thousands is applicable only on the tabbed page headed "Financials". The tabbed page headed "Statistics", where you are reading the total shares outstanding, does not report figures in round thousands. Nor does the statistics page say that it is reporting in round thousands.
For example, the reported earnings per ...

If i’m not mistaken, common stock under the balance sheet under shareholder equity is the cumulative amount of “the value” of the shares issued!!
45,972,000 * 1000 is the total value of shares issued throughout the history
The previous quarter was:
45,174,000 * 1000

Consider an individual company. Or, a portfolio of companies.
At discount rate of 10%, and growth rate of 4%, one dollar of yearly income is worth 18.3 USD. (If you want the formula, open GNU Octave or Matlab and type sum(1.04.^[0:1000] ./ 1.10.^[0:1000]) into it).
Now, if this year, income drops by 20%, instead of getting 1 USD, you get 0.8 USD, the ...

Option implied volatility begins rising 2-4 weeks before an earnings announcement, sometimes sharply. It then contracts when after the EA and option premium drops.

Approach 2 is not really possible.
Let's say you buy your initial 100 shares (let's say at $100 per share) and then the price goes up 1%.
The only way to "take" that 1% profit is to sell 1 off your hundred shares. You now have $101 in cash and 99 shares left.

You cannot take "ONLY the 1% profits and leave the rest invested" because each share has a 1% profit. In order to realize that 1% gain you must sell all 100 shares.
Is approach 2 have a name, and is it better or worse than 1 ...

2 is called day trading or scalping depending on timeframe.
It is better IF YOU CAN PULL IT OFF - which most people are woefully incompetent at. Actually on any trading. It also is not "being invested", it is "trading" - which means you will spend a lot of time doing it, which means you better earn more than you could otherwise earn. It is more a job than ...

The market is an auction. Volume moves price
If the current price is $50.00 by $50.05 with a size of 40x50, it will take the purchase of 5,000 shares to take out all of the shares offered at the ask price of $50.05. Those 5,000 buy side shares could be 50 people buying 100 shares each or one person buying 5,000 shares. The number of buyers is irrelevant.
