> use stop limit prices to guarantee a desirable price in which case there's nothing a hedge fund can do to bump you

This is VERY misleading - not sure if you just worded it poorly or if you believe this - but a stop limit is NOT a guarantee that your stock will be sold.

Someone has to take the other side of that trade for it to fill. If there's no one there to take the trade - which is common when the price moves quickly - it will not execute.
