When the 'Stop Loss Order' placers post their 'Stop Loss Orders' they are not expecting them to be stolen. They are but advertising what it is they are willing to sell for. They have been reminded so many times to take care that I can only conclude that they want to let go of their shares. However, there may in fact be a few clever ones out there that know by conducting this type of advertising they may inf act draw some attention and should the most cleaver of the "Stop Loss Raiders"go for the advertised shares with some gusto, then the cleaverer 'Stop Loss Order' advertisers can do some additional accumulation of rather cheap shares and pull their 'Stop Loss Order' before the SP is able to hit the mark. Some fast fingers and guts is all it really takes but it could be as or more effective as shorting short term cause doing the 'Stop Loss Order' "False Advertising" would cost the gutsy clever one only if their list price is actually hit. Oh! The possibilities for diverse strategy can be great in this market place. Old Joe PS: I am not advocating any suggestions I may be dreaming up here.
