Quick Note on Placing Orders

I feel obligated to provide a quick note on placing orders for thinly traded stocks such as I have provided on this blog. Speaking for myself I usually use limit type orders for the more thinly traded stocks - usually they are small cap. It takes a bit longer to get your fills but it is worth it. Occasionally I violate this "rule' when I am placing a small order - say less than 1000 shares. With the large cap American stocks (such as Apple) they are so liquid that I find placing a market order is usually quite acceptable.
