Is it a coincidence that the stock topped out in March, the same month this 'deal' was completed?
I don't know if it is too useful to find a reason after the fact--I just try to bail at -20%, and wait for the chart to bottom out. When I break that rule, twice this year, I've been sorry. You might consider doing mental stops if you aren't already.
But if it is important to find a reason you could put a third of the blame on the poor performance of the biotech industry in general, another third because it's a small/micro cap stock, and a third of the blame on the dilution effect. Lots of things working against it--what bothers me is the fact that biotech, like the market in general, has turned up a bit in the last few weeks--but a lot of the smallest issues like GZTC have not showed any life yet.

I had guessed that GZTC had bottomed out back in August at around 5 3/4...and there I got in. It made a nice little run up to nearly 7, then, as you know, resumed it's slide. I bailed at $5...and am waiting for the chart to look like it has bottomed again.
