If you have a large position, how do you sell it without bringing price down? Talk to specialist or market makers and arrange a private sale. Do not let it overhang the market.

Arthur Am I missing something? Every trade involves the three variables of stock, price ,and time; and two choices. First you pick the stock. With the one choice left you may select either price or time. A market order allows the time to be selected but not the price. A limit order allows the price to be selected but not the time. I consider market and limit orders to be two different tools. I use the one best for my needs. With a small stock having low volume and a large spread, I use limit orders. richard
