By the way -- please remember that just because I use examples naming names in here - doesn't mean that these names are appropriate investments for YOU. Please don't just copy what I'm doing. I do this EVERY DAY -- for YEARS... my holdings are bought and sold for completely different reasons than what you guys should be investing for.
So for example -- the limit order for Terra Nitrogen (TNH) was put in for $204.00 for 1000 shares ---- What I wanted to explain is that the high for the day so far is $205.21.... and the LOW for the day (most likely set by my whopping 75 share fill) is $204.00
When you're buying a 1000 shares ---- that $1.21 difference between the high and the low -- is a GRAND. How many of you make a grand that easy?? So to me -- that difference is important. Would I bother doing that for 100 shares?? No -- but I might just to use it as a way to learn --- and frankly -- that would be a hundred bucks if it gets filled....so maybe that's a good way for you guys to at least feel good about "gaming" the market just a bit.
