wait until the last second before buying a truckload of shares.....because your computer can trade in a nanosecond while the others trade like they are standing still.... like my computer/broker when sometimes it takes 30 sec. before the trade clears. So you tolerate little risk and wait for the news that will do the job, then you fire up your algorythm and it buys at market picking up everything up to a certain price before all of the Joes get in there. Nice terms if you can get it. Also nice is the characters that kept the sp down for you to get your shares cheaply....if it wasn't you doing that too in the first place.
