Shane, Yeah, if we talk seriously, the issues you outlined are very real. In some of the microcaps discussed here I could get a 10-20% jump just by placing 100 share market order. Of course, the price would go down immediately back, but if I made another market order, perhaps I could drive it up even more. So, yeah, gotta use limit orders, spread them across time, etc. And, yeah, there's a risk that you won't be able to get out in a stampede. ASRG is a good example if you review its trading last year.
