I think I misspoke..it was indeed the BID price that I set my limit order for (purposely did it "backwards" as a test, since the difference was negligible in dollars). The first group took about 15 minutes to move (limit .0064--I believe the bid/ask range was .0063/.0066 during this time); the second group was a partial fill at limit .0068--couldn't watch this group closely as I was working. My impression only was that it sat for a long time, and if someone was hungry for shares, it shouldn't have. The price differential was just not that great to quibble over...... M
