~Why wait and worry and wonder when you could get the market price immediately and move on to more news, analysis, discussion, relaxation, etc.?~ I have asked the question about online brokers (are there any good ones?) I use both. There are times (too many) that I have to wait several minutes for conformation of buy/sale. If you had an acct with my broker you would NEVER use a market order. Imagine waiting for conformation and getting caught in a downdraft. It happens. (me..efax) Mike

>>I have never placed a limit order. I have occasionally gotten prices materially worse than the current bid or ask when I have placed market orders. And this on widely traded, liquid stocks.

Exactly. It's closet daytrading. (Sorry, Jan. Nothing meant!)
