Just dumped my CDOT IPO shares at 8 11/16.
Weird thing is that I put a limit sell in last
night at 8 1/8. For an hour or so, the bid was higher
than my sell price, but the trade did not seem to
go through on ETrade... I assumed the alert was just late.
But while on the phone with ETrade to look into this,
I changed the order to a market sell (since the stock price
was now higher). The order went through at the higher price.
Kinda cool... but very creepy.

Anyone got an explanation for this? Tons of limit orders
so they were taking forever to go through, but my market
order jumped to the front of the line?

Seems very weird.
