What to take from it
- A halt can reopen higher than it stopped. The first halt stopped at $1.73 and reopened at $2.17. The move came in seconds, and it was gone in two minutes.
- Chasing can cost more than the screen says. At the first reopen a 5,000-share buy averaged the screen price of $2.20. Three seconds later it came in $186 over, and at the next two reopens $545 and $341 over.
- After the top, the next push stopped lower. $2.30 at 2:24 p.m., then $2.00 at 2:32 p.m. It closed at $1.19, 48% below the high.
