Hi Dale: "Stop orders" could let you "sleep better" when you can only monitor the market for a couple of hours a day, but there is another downside to it that you did not mention. Suppose you buy a security at $10 that has recently been trading at $15, and you issue a stop order to sell at $12 in order to lock-in your gains should it bounce a couple of points. What happens if news are released during the day that rapidly push it back up to $15 and your order executes at only ~$12 ? Yes, it is a wise way to protect your investment. But it is also a way to limit your potential gains - specially if you are dealing with volative small caps. That's my 2 cents anyway.....
