Jerry,
I'm going to need an explanation on this one. I've heard the same thing
before, but barring the possibility of having a surgical implant
permanently wiring myself to the Market (24 hour a day trading), I don't
know what other options I have.
What a Stop Limit Order says to me is that I always have the maximum
amount of protection that is available to me at any given moment. If
you have an approach that offers more protection, with less effort or
lower cost, I would appreciate the input.
Thanks,
Bob
