Maria, a learning experience from ADSX. Yesterday there was a horrendous slide, for about an hour--from 2.30 to 1.40, and then back up to about 2.00 by end of day. I was not near a computer and just sat and watched.

You know what really happened? All those poor guys with stop limits, well I am almost certain that there were so many thousands of them, with the enterest in that stock at present, that it triggered endless stop limits set close enough to tumble like a house of cards, literally. Causing a computerized avalanche.

Now I'm a little gun shy on stop limits....comments?

As for SGI, $2.50 support is just fine. I'd personally much, much prefer $2.50 support than to sit solidly at $4.75
all this time before moving higher with new news and earnings season starting soon to take its shape. There's a lot more room between $2.50 and $5.00 than $4.75. Which could easily be the reason it was slowly walked back down.

I know I don't have tolerance for breaking that support level, and I need to get out if it does.
