Well, thats what happened to me (stop order that got hit, then proceeded to go up 5 points). But I think you have to decide on a spot you would be happy with (which at this point shouldnt be too hard) and go with it. Its always better to lock up some profits instead of waiting too long and going down when its all over. Thats happened a bunch of time to me. Big profits in USRX (that was a while back), WDC and others only to see them go away just because I was afraid of putting ina a stop order because of the volatility. If nothing else, you can put it in at a low enough point that if it gets hit, things are probably not going that well anyway. If it keeps going up, just adjust it accordingly. If it goes down, stick with it. Its better to be disciplined that way. Anyway, good luck. I'm in xcit now. I will put in the stop order after the close today. I wont do it right now becuase I want to hold it through earnings and who knows what will happen later today. David
