J- Panic selling it was. I was REALLY panicking trying to unload my options as they evaporated. Got out of some with a profit before the perilous slide. It seems most likely that this was based on some inside knowledge. However, in a market like we have been enjoying, speculation is widespread. This type of price action is what you would see when speculators liquidate, and try to jack their enemy around. Whatever the case, it was no doubt someone with a large position to unwind, coupled with no bidders. Astounding in its intensity. I've only seen a few like this in the past... Parametric, Advanced Fiber, OnSale(the worst ever). Hopefully, those long will not be selling too much into any strength in the morning out of fear. My $.02, --spaw--
