Online Trading
The price of some stocks, especially recent "hot" IPOs and high
tech stocks, can soar and drop suddenly. In these fast markets when many
investors want to trade at the same time and prices change quickly, delays
can develop across the board. Executions and confirmations slow down, while
reports of prices lag behind actual prices. In these markets, investors can
suffer unexpected losses very quickly.
Investors trading over the Internet or online, who are used to instant
access to their accounts and near instantaneous executions of their trades,
especially need to understand how they can protect themselves in fast-moving
markets.
