Bill,
regarding purchases of stocks that are hot, be careful. One approach is to find and buy them when they are unknown and have a little patience. Zeev and me like to do this for example.

If you couldn't or didn'T want to do this and you find a stock, first of all, define a maximum limit you would like to spend. There are some rules for this, though in order to avoid becoming trapped..

#1) NEVER EVER place a market order in a fast moving issue, especially not at the open or the close. Always place limit orders

#2) Limit orders have an additional beauty. I'm not totally familiar with NASD Regs but as I see it, they are prioritized over market orders to some extent..

#3) Often stocks surge in the first 2 hours of trading just in order to recede a bit btw. 10 and 11.00. You can capitalize on this by being patient

#4) don't worry if the stocks surges and you are not part. There are other playsout there that might be equally interesting..

best wishes
CROSSY
