What's interesting is the fact that they didn't take out the stops- it's going down surprisingly gently, not what I expected.

Yes, this is certainly interesting. Now that I'm out, my guess is that the support line is being held by underwriters (those with level II can confirm) on behalf of their client, EGGS, not retail clients. SPO buyers, who have not already grabbed their profits, have probably set the stops lower....then, of course, there are the die-hard longs (such as on this thread) who are going to hold until the stock finally goes up (probably for a break-even withdrawal) or their pain threshold is crossed. Only short-term traders, such as myself, have set a close stop. Apparently there just aren't very many of us in EGGS at the moment...all the more reason to move on.
