Ken, Great timing on half your position. -g- I don't figure not playing a stock is losing money. Especially when I've played other stocks that made more money in a shorter period of time and were actually selling at decent valuations. But, hey, different strokes for different folks. My experience with orders is that, if I put in a limit order, I only get executed at the beginning of a big move the wrong way. And, if I put in a market order, I get ripped off big time, either paying the high or receiving the low of the day. -g- The truth is, I have found limit orders very important when dealing with low activity stocks or options. When dealing with a trading sardine like Dell, I'd just put in a market order. MB
