Thanks. Funny one of the cell phone providers has TV on the cell and one of the stations is Bloomberg. I get Bloomberg TV at home - haven't got into the 24hr stuff. They seem to be more "headline" news style - less on the "shows" like say CNBC or Fox.

The problem on the ON STOP BUY orders is that (not 100% sure across all exchanges) people can put shit ass bid/asks.

So a stock closes at 30. There is a bid at $24.01 and ask at $35.50. When I place the ON STOP BUY order at say 30.25 with my discount broker they say (software) that I must place the order above the ask - which is $35.50. I cannot explain why so I am emailing them with a reasoning.

Then again I am aware (loosely) of different rules for different exchanges and one of them is Nasdaq.
