strange trading happens

when the Bid x Ask gets thin. The Ask may have disappeared right before somone clicked on a buy at the ask. The extra high price movement may have triggered someone's stop resulting in the super low price.

When it gets real thin, you see deceptive B X A out there. Like if the stock closes at 94.73, the ask might be 97.43. I fell for that once long ago. Now with after hours and options, I triple check my prices before hitting enter.

Or it could simply be HAL playing games.

If it happened in volume, I'd be concerned.
