But without sounding like I'm bragging, and please just take it as information, my last buy was 300,000 at .07. It was a huge gamble as it was Feb. 12 and it wasn't certain that they would avoid bankruptcy. But I had so much money in this stock from the past four years and my cost basis was 3.09 and I didn't see sirius coming back to there anytime soon if ever. Anyway, point is it was a market order, came in several chunks but none out of range. Not to say you couldn't get screwed, that's always a chance you take. But you also take the chance of getting your order filled, especially if it's large if you do a limit. Frankly, I probably would have missed out that day had a given it that much thought. As it is, that .07 buy lowered my cost basis to .60
