Bring the morphine Jorj! Quick! I tossed OMKT overboard @14. That's all I sold, but unlike you I have some margin exposure which makes me suseptable to these panic induced drops.

Man-o-man did I take a beating.

AOL was the one that surprised me. I haven't seen it get a hickey like that since being added to the SP500.
I find it hard to set reasonable stops on these stocks. Once you do you get bounced out only to see it close at an all-time high later in the day. As far as the NYSEBP turning, that could be delayed for a bit.
I fear that margin calls tomorrow will continue the selling in the morning, then we'll get a true picture of how far down she wants to go (titanic ref).
