Waterhouse will take a .50 stop. I'd prefer smaller and/or trailing stops, but work with what I got. I really wonder, if a stock is trading at 42, and my stop is at 42.5, will the market maker just open up the spread and stop me out? I've been stopped out several times within a penny or less of the days hi or low. Some stocks have so many MM's that it couldnt be done. I dont think they can run CSCO up 20 cents to take my 200 shares away. But the biotechs and other thinly traded stocks are a different matter. Does it work that way? Or are we just paranoid? -hans
