So just a follow up to these "limited" thoughts.... LOL
My Chevron order for 2000 shares at $120 was filled today... and while it's currently quoted at $119.94.... My buy at $120 is a far cry from the days high which I would have bought at had I just placed a market order.... that would have been about $1.60 plus difference! On 2000 shares -- that's a lot! Thus my statement that even if the shares go lower than where I bought -- I'm a lot closer to the market than had I paid the market high for the day.
So since I was trying to capture the $1.00 dividend being paid Monday -- I put in another 1000 share limit order (good 'til canceled) at $119.00
