Copyright 2014 Diane Scott Docking 36 Types of Orders  Limit order Buy limit order – buy only at the designated price or lower  Designated price is lower than current market price P Limit_buy < P MV_current E.g.: $19 < $20 Buy only at $19 or lower. If short the stock, take profit and run.

Copyright 2014 Diane Scott Docking 37 Types of Orders  Limit order Sell limit order – sell at the designated price or higher  Designated price is greater than current market price P Limit_sell > P MV_current E.g.: $22 > $20 Sell only at $22 or higher. If long the stock, take profit and run.

Copyright 2014 Diane Scott Docking 39 Types of Orders  ____________ order (aka: stop-loss order) An order to buy or sell when price surpasses a particular price – at which point the stop order becomes a market order. Not a 100% guarantee of getting the desired entry/exit price.  E.g., if a stock gaps down (up) then the stop sell (buy) order will be triggered (or filled) at a price significantly lower (higher) than expected Stop order to BUY – order is not to be executed until the market rises to a designated price  Designated price is _______ than the current market price Stop order to SELL – order is not to be executed until the market falls to a designated price  Designated price is _______ than the current market price Beneficial because  Commonly used before leaving for holidays or entering a situation where unable to monitor their portfolio for an extended period.  Ensures a greater probability of achieving a predetermined entry or exit price, limiting the investor's loss or locking in his/her profit.

Copyright 2014 Diane Scott Docking 40 Types of Orders  Stop order (aka: stop-loss order) Stop order to buy – order is not to be executed until the market rises to a designated price  Designated price is greater than the current market price P Stop_buy > P MV_current E.g.: $25 > $20 Buy only if price gets to $25. Idea is to buy it before price gets too high: - Cover a short position before price gets too high, or - Go long (buy the stock) before it becomes too expensive If price gaps up to $30 may end up buying at $30, than the expected $25; but guaranteed to own the stock.

Copyright 2014 Diane Scott Docking 41 Types of Orders  Stop order (aka: stop-loss order) Stop order to SELL – order is not to be executed until the market rises to a designated price  Designated price is lower than the current market price P Stop_sell < P MV_current E.g.: $15 < $20 Sell only if price fall to $15. Idea is to sell it before price gets too low: - Get out of a long position. Take profit and run or cut losses. If price gaps down to $10 may end up selling at $10, than the expected $15; but guaranteed to sell the stock.

Copyright 2014 Diane Scott Docking 42 Types of Orders  Size-Related orders Round lot – 100 shares Odd lot – less than 100 shares Block trade – large trades of 10,000 or mores shares or MV ≥ $200,000

Copyright 2014 Diane Scott Docking 43 Short Selling

44 Short Sales Note that an investor who buys and owns shares of stock is said to be “long the stock” or to have a “long position.” Short Sale is a sale in which the seller does not actually own the security that is sold. Borrow shares from someone Borrow shares from someone Sell the Shares in the market Sell the Shares in the market Buy shares From the market Buy shares From the market Return the shares Return the shares TodayIn the Future Copyright 2014 Diane Scott Docking

45 Short Sales  An investor with a long position benefits from price increases. Easy to understand You buy today at $34, and sell later at $57, you profit! Buy low, sell high  An investor with a short position benefits from price decreases. Also easy to understand You sell today at $83, and buy later at $27, you profit. Sell high, buy low Copyright 2014 Diane Scott Docking

46 Short Selling  In a short sale, investor borrows and sells stock  Promises to pay back stock later  Short seller hopes stock price declines to provide gain  Short seller covers dividend payments while borrowing stock  Limited gain; unlimited losses

47 Example 1: Short Sales  You short 100 shares of Texas Instruments (TXN) at $30 per share. The value of stock borrowed that will be sold short is: $30 × 100 shs = $3,000 NOTE: YOU MUST PUT UP FUNDS TO SHORT A STOCK! 1) Assume in 1 year the stock has a value of $20 per share. What is your gain/loss? 2) Assume in 1 year the stock has a value of $40 per share. What is your gain/loss? Copyright 2014 Diane Scott Docking

48 Example 1: Short Sales  Assume in 1 year the stock has a value of $20 per share. What is your gain/loss and return? Sell $30 Buy-$20 Gain $10 / sh. X 100 shs. = _________________ Copyright 2014 Diane Scott Docking

49 Example 1: Short Sales  Assume in 1 year the stock has a value of $40 per share. What is your gain/loss and return? Sell $30 Buy-$40 Loss-$10 / sh. X 100 shs. = _______________ Copyright 2014 Diane Scott Docking
