Steve, A couple of questions related to trading listed stocks: 1)If the quote is 1/8 x 1/4, and I enter a short order at 3/16, and a minute later the quote drops to 1/16 x 3/16, does my short order get priority over the regular offers at 3/16? 2)Is there a time limit for a specialist to display or execute an order which improves the inside quote? Yesterday a stock was 1/16 x 1/4, and not trading fast. I entered buy at 1/8. The ask was taken out and went to 3/8. For 2 1/2 minutes the bid stayed at 1/16 while prints went off at the ask, and then the bid jumped over mine (which was never displayed) to 3/16. Isn't 2 1/2 minutes an unusually long time? 3)If it's after 9:30 and a stock has still not opened and you enter a market buy, are you still entitled to get the opening price? What about if you enter an order while a stock is being indicated? Thanks! Grn
