At 60¢, several stop-losses were triggered, to the tune of between sixty and eighty thousand shares. Those sales knocked the bid down to 58¢, which then triggered more stop-losses......

EVERYBODY! Never, NEVER, NEVER use a stop-loss on a penny stock that you think you might really want to hold on to! Market makers can see stop-losses on their Level III logs, and if they are hurting for shares, they will figure out a way to get the stop-losses to trigger.


I guess I have a time believing what you say about stop loss orders getting triggered. As far as I know, stop losses are not available from any broker for Nasdaq stocks. I've tried to use them, and I know I can't. What makes you think that's what happened? I think it was just some healthy profit-taking (but not by me ;-))
