Your question was in regards to the event you described, NOT if you have made money or not. I never suggested you were "wet behind the ears". (Are you a diver?)
If you did not like my answer, well that is different, and has nothing to do with the issue.
Once again, your statement:
"I realized, to a degree, the risk at the time, and actually the market makers in this stock have not done me wrong before. Come home at around 11AM this morning, Thursday, and my order has been filled at 4 5/8 and the stock is then trading at about 3 1/4!! So I have managed to lose 2850 in 1.5 hours? My confirmation was at 9:51.57."
And once again, if you want to avoid the above, do not use market orders.
Further, I never said, "With market orders you will never make money".
So, do as you wish, as they said in the movies, "frankly my dear, I don't give a damn". |
