MMK, Stop, limit. What you probably want is a sell stop. You can put it in now. Just pick a price say 6. If the stock dips below 6 it will turn into a market order and sell at market. A sell stop limit means you put in a stop and a limit. If it dips below your stop it becomes a limit order and will sell at your limit price or above. There are about three problems with stops. One is that the mm will stair step a stock down and catch the stops. They did that this morning with asct, ask Snerd. The second is that a lot of the discount houses will not allow stops on anything but NYSE listed stocks. The third is that they will not protect you if a stock gaps down or up at the open or after a trading halt.
