The overall stock market is down. There is no way ARBA can still have such a high valuation. Merrill Lynch report said that they have a 12 month target of 140 when the stock was at 120s, so the only way people can really make money is having the stock price to go down more and back up. They said they expect volatile price movement. Large revenue jump could not jump start the stock price yesterday and continued the slide today. This indicates the near term movement is downward. High value IPO stock is in bad shape.
