Kelvin, Re:"stop limit orders is the only way to prevent surprises" Maybe I'm confused about stops, but I think it's the other way around isn't it? A stop would activate a market order as soon as the stop is reached. There was no guarantee that the stock would bounce back to execute a limit order. If ONSL kept falling, a stop would have been a lot better to get out rather than waiting for a limit to be reached--that is if you really want out of the stock. Later Chucky
