Buying at market, especially on the NASDAQ, is not very prudent. The last time I did this was when I sold some shares when the market for them was showing 36$. The market maker gave me 30.50$ and the very next trade the price was back up to 35.50$!!! I put in a complaint and we finally managed to get 32$. The fact is I still lost serious money (1000 shares). When you go at market you will get burned. Chris I have read many of your posts. You remind me of myself when I first started trading, I was very impulsive. I have since learned that it is very important to be patient. There are always serveral occasions to buy into something. If you want ZE today for 17.50$ then call your broker and place a buy order at this price. Chances are you will get filled during a short bout of profit taking. If you don't get filled then put the order in again tomorrow. If this does not suit your personality then go in at the ASK price. At least you will avoid getting taken by the MMs.
