Semi-OT Semi-OT Semi-OT Semi-OT Semi-OT Semi-OT Semi-OT Semi-OT Question about basic terminology: I know what a market order is ("Go out and get the best price right now"). Is a limit order just a market order executed once another trade has gone through at the limit price or better? Or is it an instruction to go out on the floor and keep offering the trade at the limit price or better until someone accepts it? Thanks.

I wonder if the options pressure will try to push this stock down to 25 on the close on Friday?? Or pull it up to 30! Glenn

"It is very reassuring that everything is in its place and the natural order remains stable." Finder, What the hell is your point? Every time I come here there is this same old crap of yours. Skipper
