Remember if the market fell 20% your order might be executed at that level.
Remember you may have a taxable capital gain.
The stock probably will rebound from the drop, just depends on if it is in minutes, days or months.
Yes I use limit order when they fit my needs. Usually to sell a stock that is increasing in value or to buy a stock I think will drop.
