MARKET ORDERS:

Anybody who places market orders, except where there is
ENORMOUS justification deserves what he/she gets.

If I have to get out of a position fast I prefer to sell
at the bid (and if I can't sell at the bid I KNOW I am in
trouble).

Maybe somebody can outline some circumstances in which
market orders are really justified, but I look at them as
a form of blank check.

Don't really like blank checks much, except when I receive them.

Best wishes,
Jim
