In recent years, the percentage of drug overdose deaths involving

heroin underwent a sharp rise. In 2010, only 8 percent of all drug overdose
deaths involved heroin, but by 2015, 25 percent involved heroin, the report
said.

(5) The researchers also found that the percentage of overdose deaths
involving synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl and tramadol, more than doubled
during that time period, increasing from 8 percent in 2010 to 18 percent in
2015.

"The continuing rise in death rates related to heroin use and synthetic
(10) opioids is of great concern," said Dr. Larissa Mooney, an assistant clinical
professor of psychiatry at the University of California, Los Angeles, and
director of the university's Addiction Medicine Clinic.

Although the percentage of overdose deaths from heroin is rising, the

percentage of deaths from some types of prescription opioids, including
(15 oxycodone and hydrocodone, has declined slightly, dropping from 29 percent
) of all drug overdose deaths in 2010 to 24 percent in 2015, the report said. The
percentage of overdose deaths from methadone also dropped during this
period, decreasing from 12 percent of drug overdose deaths in 2010 to 6
percent in 2015.

A market order is an order to buy or sell immediately at the best available price.
These orders do not guarantee a price, but they do guarantee the order's immediate
execution. Typically, if you are going to buy a stock, then you will pay a price near the posted
ask. If you are going to sell a stock, you will receive a price near the posted bid.
One important thing to remember is that the last-traded price is not necessarily the price at
which the market order will be executed. In fast moving and volatile markets, the price at
which you actually execute (or fill) the trade can deviate from the last-traded price. The price
will remain the same only when the bid and ask prices are exactly at the last-traded

price.

Market orders are popular among individual investors who want to buy or sell a stock
without delay. Although the investor doesn't know the exact price at which the stock will be
bought or sold, market orders on stocks that trade over tens of thousands of shares per day
(5) will likely be executed close to the bid and ask prices.

A limit order sets the maximum or minimum price at which you are willing to buy or
sell. For example, if you wanted to buy a stock at $10, you could enter a limit order for this
amount. This means that you would not pay a penny over $10 for the particular stock. It is
still possible, however, that you buy it for less than the $10.
