excellent trade Kevin. A note on Stop limit orders............

The stop limit order I put on NNC was actually $43.51 not that that is important at the moment but let me explain something to all that are unaware.

Stop limit orders, because of the "present handling" of the TSE/ME/ASE computers will only recognize stop orders like this

from 1/2c to 49.5c the stop limit is .5c
from 50c to 4.99c the stop limit is 1c
from 5.00 to ..... the stop limit is 5c

So even though the brokerages accept a .51c stop on a +$5.00 stock...the TSE/MSE/ASE computers will only check the stop on the "nickel" Which means that my $43.51 stop will not be checked until $43.50 anyway!! So why do I say to put in odd number stops........Its a good habit to get into..and you'll likely never know when/if they modify the exchange computers to take these different stops!!
