Above The Market

You really loved your snap at $8 a share, but the market has gotten a hold of it on the backs of momentum from the last two good quarters. The stock has shot to $35.62, and your finger is just itching to hit the sell button. Your gut tells you it has a bit more mojo to go, so you put in a sell order that is above the market at $40/share. An above the market order is simply a limit order with a minimum price. See its kissing cousin, "away from the market."
