Some times when you just can't decide whether or not to buy a stock and you are waffling back and forth here is what I do...just a suggestion.
I put my buying price in at the bid or somewhere under the bid.
The reasoning being if it is meant to be, it will execute.
Usually it also gives you a little time to look over your own shoulder to see how you feel about what you did, before it executes.
Same thing about selling (only in reverse)

Also Ameritrade is pretty good at giving me stocks at the bid from time to time if I am buying (and put my price in at the bid), and at the ask if I am selling..very good execution.
Over the course of a year it can make a nice difference in your account.

The above post is for newbies.... after you have traded for awhile you will devise your own systems for doing things like this
