Thank you for correcting my post. You are right, of course. What I meant to say was to use a Buy Stop Order (not a Buy Limit Order). Although one may well purchase a stock at a price above the level where the Buy Stop Order level is specified on a morning gap-up (perhaps as much as 10% in a worst-case scenario), this is usually not significant in the greater scheme of things when one of these stocks bounces back up. The 5 to 10% one may lose when the target is hit and converted to a market buy order palls in comparison to trying to "catch a falling knife" and guess where an internet stock temporarily out of favor will bottom and settle.
