Number 1 on the Podium - Find me a cheaper Precious Metals play, page-771

I had bought quite a few on Tuesday between $2.69-$2.76 so I thought I was being smart when I put in a bid for $2.60 until Friday and bugger me dead, it got filled and then it dropped!

When you think about it, that actually makes perfect sense despite it being frustrating. If you put in a low bid, then the SP has to drop for that to be fulfilled. Unless you are extremely lucky then you almost certainly won't have picked the bottom, so chances are if the SP is dropping then it will keep dropping past your bid level. Sure, it's annoying to see you could have saved a couple of percent if you'd gone even lower or waited longer, but if you've got access to that crystal ball then I'd like a go with it too please!
