River,
Good to see you having success in the market. It was so blah for so long it was getting discouraging. I'm experimenting with some Morpheus stocks, nothing good or bad to report yet. AAPL to 500 and beyond ! Also PM in my IRA reached new high yesterday.

Any reason to short where you did.
Looks to me like climax selling. Someone likes it at that price.
The fact that it gap opened down and never got any lower on that volume suggests that there is support at that point.

Could be a deadcat bounce. I hope so.

I just knew you were going to say something like "River, you do take some odd shorts!" There is a lot of scary big lot trading going on both sides of Level II. Am watching my max. 8% mental stop closely. Too much action and volatility here for comfort. May get out by end of day and sleep better on weekend.

Short covering?????

I was hoping it was short profit taking, but why if it's going down further? You may be deaddog right about someone likes it here and sellers limiting losses? 4X vol and it's not 1:30 yet?
