Dear Tomster, A Limit Order is an order to buy or sell a security at a specific price or better. For buy orders, the limit price is placed at or below the current ask price. For a sell order, the limit price is placed at or above the current bid price. A Stop Order is an order to buy or sell at the market price once the security has traded at a specified price called the stop price. A Stop Order to buy is always at a stop price above the current ask price and is designed to help protect a profit or limit a loss on a short sale. A Stop Order to sell is always at a price below the bid price and is designed to protect a profit or limit a loss on a security held long. The risk of a Stop Order is that it may be triggered by temporary market movements or executed at a price higher or lower than the stop price because of market orders placed ahead of it. Please Note: During fast market conditions they do not work as a defensive measure to "lockin" a specific price. Have a great Sunday,,, L & S WCTI,, Barbara CAARUNNCHHHHH P.S. Daniel please let Ron know that I wish him/her the best and I am sorry that he/she feels that I am spooky ;).
