Doc/Mide...I couldn't agree with both of you more. And I'd like to add one more thing to this stop loss discussion. Most of you hopefully know and understand this, but for those who don't yet...a stop loss order DOES NOT guarantee that you'll sell your stock at that price. It'll sell at that price if there's a buyer at that price, and it'll sell lower if that's where the bid is, and you're next in line. I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that a ton of folks that had stops in at 3 or 2.90 didn't sell at that price but more likely got taken out in the 2.70+ range where the bids started to kick in.
