Problem: The stock of the Madison Travel Co. is selling for $56 per share. You put a limit buy order at $48 for one month. During the month, the stock price declines to $46, then jumps to $66, which is the month-end price.
1) Ignoring commissions, what would have been your rate of return on this investment?
2) What would be your rate of return if you had put in a market order?
3) What if your limit order was at $45?
