It is not safe to leave any amount of coins on an exchange. Hackers target them, owners and run off with the money, disaing withdraw unannounced... all sorts of unpredictable events. Complete your transaction and withdraw whenever possible.
No online wallets are safe.
With all the hacks happening around, I'd advise you not to. Just use it as an exchange, go their do the trade and get out. Don't use it as a wallet.

I wouldn't recommend keeping your coins on any exchange. Bitstamp lost a big load of bitcoins recently too.As far as exchanges go, they are pretty safe, but it's still better to have them stored locally.

I would say no, i keep about max of $5 change in there but anything more than that would be stupid unless you can afford to loose it.History has shown us that the last place you want to store your bitcoins is on an exchange.
Im not saying Bitstamp will run off wih any customers coins but they may get hacked again and this time not be able to pay back everyone.
Best store them offline till needed.
