What does limit mean when buying stock?
It's actually "limit order." It is a direction to a stockbroker to buy or sell at a specific price, or better. If it is a buy limit order, the broker will buy for you if the stock is at the limit order price or lower, and if it is a sell limit order, the broker will sell for you if the stock is at the limit order price or higher. A buy limit order is similar to a long call, and a sell limit order is similar to a long put.

What is the difference between a stop and a stop-limit order?
The stop limit order combines the characteristics of a stop order and a limit order. A basic stop order will buy/sell your security at the market price once your stop has been reached or passed. A stop limit order will buy/sell the security at a specified price once the stop has been reached or passed. If you use a stop limit, and your limit is too high/low your order may not get filled which will negate the purpose of putting the stop on in the first place. I tend to stick with stop orders if I am trying to protect a loss on a security.
