What to take from it

• A halt can reopen on either side of where it stopped. The 12:28 halt stopped at $1.20 and reopened at $1.45. The 12:39 halt stopped at $1.61 and reopened at $1.40.
• The first seconds after a reopen can cost more than the screen says. At 12:55:41 only 40 shares were offered at the screen price, and 5,000 shares averaged $73 over it.
• After the top, the next push stopped lower, and most of the move was gone by the close. $1.69 at 12:58 p.m., then $1.48 at 1:08 p.m., then $0.97 at the close, 43% below the high.
