Ann: Equity Raising Presentation, page-33

Here is the trap Brokenandhungry.

In the situation you mentioned above is where you picked the top or bottom of a market perfectly.

Lets say you had 1000 shares at $1.00.

Mrs Retail A buys 500 ($500)
Ms Retail B buy 498 ($498)

Then the share price moves down to $0.99 and continues downward.

You order remains open @$1.00 for the last 2 shares you had in the order.

If you wait it out then you will pay the broker (for example) $20.00 for the trade, even if it takes 6 months to complete. HOWEVER, if you change or amend the order, often they will charge you a further $20.00. This effectively means you have made an $18.00 loss on a trade of $1.98.

Hope that makes sense.

The wordage in written form seems far more complicated than if we were talking face to face.
