You can limit your stock loss with stops. There are some incidents that you do not want to do so.
* Flash crash. It will turn your stops into market orders that are substantially lower than your stop prices. Some brokers offer stop limits, but they do not guarantee the orders are executed.
* My experience with 911. I sold many stocks due to stops. The market came back in 3 days and I missed all the gains from stocks sold.
