What's the difference between stop and stop limit sell orders?
147192
A stop order (sometimes known as a stop loss order) is an order to buy or sell a stock once the price of the stock reaches a specified price, known as the stop price. When the specified price is reached, the stop order is entered as a market order. Stop orders are designed to limit an investor's losses in the event of an unexpected drop in the price of a security.\n\nA stop-limit order combines the features of a stop order and a limit order. Once the stop price is reached, the stop-limit order becomes a limit order to buy or to sell at no more (or less) than a specified price.\n\nIf you are afraid that once the stock hits a certain price and will keep falling, you probably want to enter a STOP order.  ie.  I have google shares i bought at $200 and it is $450 now.  I might enter a stop order to sell if it ever crashes down to $400 thus preserving my profit.\n\nGood luck with your investing!  It will be interesting to see how Steve Jobs/Disney/ABC do...

If you are buying it is the highest you will buy for and if you are selling it's the lowest you will sell for.  \n\nA market order is just "buy or sell it at whatever the going price is at the time my order hits the market."  you do NOT want to do this.

Stock markets are regolamented markets in wich you can buy and sell stocks, (shares, partecipations in a corporation).\n\nThere are two different ways in which stock markets can be organized. In quote driven markers negotiations are pulled by prices: the dealers show the bid and ask prices at wich they buy and sell a share.\n\nIn order driven markets the price of a stock is determined by demand and supply for that stock without the intermediation of a price-maker dealer. Generally it is similar to a double auction sale: many sellers sell to many buyers.

The first thing you should do is prevent a robbery from cleaning out the register.  You can do that by placing a stop order beneath the current price. IMHO, first support looks like around $80. Your stop should go in a little beneath that, in case the support level doesn't hold the decline. Stop at $78.  That's 12% below today's close.  That's your insurance in case the stock gets pummeled. I was around in '87, '98 and '00, it can happen and here's why.  Using the PEG ratio, the price to book ratio, the price to sales ratio; the stock is overvalued.  On the other hand, there are good things that can be said about being a leader in an expanding industry; an already good and increasing ROE and ROA; zero debt and I am sure there are probably some others, if I took a closer look.  \nBecause of the high PEG, there is a good chance the stock will sell-off systematically in the next market downturn.\nYou could let the stock run up for now, since that is the current trend, and start selling if a subsequent rally attempt fails to make a new high before running out of steam. Remember: "Ride your Winners and Sell your Losers".\nOh, and keep moving your stop up as the stock moves up.

I'm not aware of any limits.  You can buy or sell as many as you want.  In some developed markets if you buy more than approx 30% of the stock you can be forced to make an offer for the remaining 70%.

When I use that strategy I will but a stock and put a stop loss in at 10% below my purchase price.  If the stock is going up I change the stop order every time it goes up another 5% but keep it 10% below the current price.  If it starts to go down I just let the stop go off, don't change it since that is where you start to go off your strategy.

Inventory control is basically making sure you have enough of what is selling on hand, to meet demand, and making sure you don't get overstocked on slow moving items.\n\nMost larger companies use a computerized system and the bar codes that manufacturers place on products to keep a running total of what is on hand and what is moving.  In that way, they get a fairly good idea of how much stock they need to keep on hand.\n\nIn a world of overnight shipping, it is no longer necessary to keep huge quantities of anything in stock.  Some suppliers will even do you the favor of keeping track of how often you have to order a specific item and arranging autoshipments when history indicates you might be running low.\n\nWithout more information, that's the best I can do to answer your question.  If you are lost in the middle of a bunch of cartons and crates, you might consider starting by taking an inventory of what you already have on hand.

false, a lower price for the product will not change the breakeven point, but rather change the profit margin

If you put in a limit order for $5.00 and the stock trades as low as $5.00 you may not get filled, or if it is a lot of shares you may get a partial fill. Any market orders placed before the limit price was hit will be ahead of you and there may not be enough sellers at the low price to make everyone happy.\n\nBut in general you will get them at that price or fractions of a penny better if you use someone like ameritrade and it trades through your price.

A) In level II quotes  you receive all bids and asking prices  at which participants are willing to buy or sell stock. Level II quotes had some use when nobody had them, maybe help you spot some obvious support prices that every market participant knows already. \n\nB) Yes, if you want to be market maker ?? you can only trade in cents increments. Thus, most liquid stocks you wont get that.  If you have a limit order you will receive the price you stated or better. If you trade thinly stocks, limit is the way to go.  Still, plenty of times, many of my orders have not been filled at the limit price. It is the worse believe me. Yes, you can make a market in some illiquid stocks, making your bid appear a couple of cents above the current one. Unless you are a day trader, no need to worry about it too much. \n\nC) When you make a market order, your buy (sell) will execute at the ask(bid) avalaible at the moment, you will get the stock at the price show on your quote. In fast moving markets, you will get different fills.\n\nSince, you are asking this questions go with limit or market orders whatever you feel comfortable and try not to day-trade. Be careful.

Stay out of the Market.\n\nA "Stop Loss" order  is an order to sell stock at a certain price below what the stock buyer paid for the stock so that if the Stock Market is falling Your Stock Broker has to sell your stock when it falls to your stop loss Price. This protects you from any more loss on a falling Market. In selling your stock it is possible for the price of the stock to drift down a little more before a sale takes place. Place stop loss orders an any stock you buy. It limits your loss.

The order was drop shipped.\n\n'Drop shipping is a type of retailing in which the retailer does not keep goods/product in stock, but instead passes customer orders and shipment details to wholesalers, who then dispatch the goods to the customer directly. The retailer makes their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price.'\n\nHope that helps!

Other, I used the prices and volumes to guide me when to sell or exit.  For instant, If my stock going up, have a long run, one day the price is decline like 5 percent, the volume is double or higher from the last session. That is a yellow flag for me, and I have to a decision quickly before it decline further.  I usually sell it with no hestitate when that happen.

It refers to a closed-end fund. When a fund trades at a price lower than its per-share value, it is said to be trading at a discount to NAV (net asset value). A closed-end fund whose share price is falling in relation to its NAV is said to be trading at a "widening discount."

It might be different because you're going through your company.  Maybe they just batch up all the orders and execute them at the end of the date?\n\nAre you even allowed to place orders that are not market orders?

Contact your real estate broker, they're usually experienced with things like this.\n\nMy understanding is that usually there's a clause in the selling agreement that if the buying party can not full fill the payment required the transaction may be canceled.
