Stan, I can tell you from my own limited experience that the only
time I felt like I got screwed by placing a market order was when
I placed one before the market opened. The price magically jumped
just for my order and then immediately went back to what the market
had closed at the day before and business went on as usual and never
hit that higher price again all day... in fact I was buying IOMG
come to think of it.

With that exception, all orders I make have come in at the current
Ask price without surprises, but then I'm only buying/selling a
couple thousand dollars worth of stock at a time so I'm probably
not worth the effort to them.

A question I have though as long as we're talking about it -- what
does the "size" of the bid/ask mean? It is reported as say 10x5, etc.
Am I correct that this is the relative interest in buying/selling?

I personally think this is a steal right now! I have my portfolio
about half in IOMG and half in NRID (I think they both have the same
situation) so I'll either be doing really well or be an unhappy
camper real soon!

It's fun to know you have company in this kind of think... investing
all by yourself isn't nearly as exciting!

Bon Chance!

-John
