You are able to place orders 30 minutes before the market opens. This is not recommended because you do not know what the stock is going to do when the market opens.
I am not a professional investor and this is just my opinion.
ouch..thats pretty much bottom i'd say.....don't feel bad...lots of folks like yourself got faked out by the market makers today. good thing is you can always buy back in.
I knew this was going to happen. Check my last post. If there is a selloff like today, make sure and not to sell on the panic. If you are atleast going to sell, wait for the bounce, there is always one. In this case it almost touched yesterdays closing price!
