That does seem to be right, I was just reading posts over on the SCMR thread, and some guy actually bought 2000 shares at 270, I do feel sorry for the people who bought it at 270, though. I learned about limit orders on volatile stocks the hard way, got taken for a very bumpy ride on ATHM in January, put in a market order to sell at the open, and it opened 18 points below what my broker quoted. As soon as I saw that, I tried to buy it back, but it shot up 12 points between my order and the fill. Then went on to almost double in the next couple of months, only to be chopped down to below where I bought it to begin with. Oh, the joys of techstocks.
