Help choosing a sell order type.

I must say I am impressed by the knowledge some of you fellows have about stock trading, because it is a subject I am pathetically and completely ignorant about.

That come from the fact that my parents were very painfully affected by the Great Depression and their experience caused my father to pound into our heads what he strongly believed was the way to avoid being injured by the kind of economic problems the U.S. is presently having.

His advice was to get an education, find a good government job, live within our means and avoid debt, invest in nothing but U.S. Savings Bonds and never gamble. He said we'd never get rich but we'd never know hunger and we'd always be safe in a comfortable home and want for nothing.

He was right.
