Lee, I mostly always buy at market, when I want what I'm buying. Another thing I've done is buy 2/3 at market, and 1/3 with a limit order. When we were see-sawing between SPX 1267 and 1280 two weeks ago, on one of those days I made my buy, and the 2/3 1/3 worked like a charm. The buy limit went off at 3:15pm, while I was at work and not able to access the market. P.S.: Technically I could trade from my work 'puter, as I have 'net access, but if the owners of my company caught me trading options, they would most likely disapprove for two reasons: 1) I have a busy job, and should be working during work-hours. 2) They would think it extremely reckless to be trading options, since they feel individual stocks are too risky -- only one of four owners even has mutual funds. And it is very risky to trade options (the odds are stacked against you), but I am as cautious as I know how to be and still put on a play from time to time.
