JRI, RE: So, yesterday's late trade the knocked the stock down over 3 pts....was just a third-market trade (and not the fault of the Specialist)...if so, then whose fault is it? For, this sort of thing simply does NOT happen with any other big cap issue that I've ever seen (albeit, my experience is light compared to other's on the thread)

It's the fault of the idiot retail investor that puts in a market order for an after hours trade, that's who.

I also don't see it anywhere else when it comes to large cap, visible issues like EMC. In the end, given that we're only talking about 100 shares or so and the NYSE trades basically ignore it, I'd say this is a non issue, at least to everyone but the idiot retail investor and brokerage firm that stole from him.
