As far as my time and sales data is concerned these were the lowest transactions afterhours

Are you using signal? That's what I use, and I see the same thing, but I doubt it's correct. Both JDSU and SDLI definitely traded down on Island, but the bid/asks I see from signal remain at the market-close levels. According to Island, JDSU's last trade was at 126.75, while SDLI's last trade was at 386.5. One would expect Instinet to be in line with those levels, so perhaps there was a problem with some of the quoting services like signal.

hasan, I read your request as a question of my posted trade; it was done on island; here is the account activity copy from datek:
>>Executed: Bought xx SDLI at 382.000000 07/25/2000 19:48:02
the short was:07/24/2000 09:41:47 Sold xx SDLI 449

note:xx = the # of shares, a small odd lot

a trading habit I have is to hold very small pieces, either long or short, from larger trades that I have done as day trades
on ones like SDLI, even trades of only 25,50,etc can yeild decent small gains when it moves 5 to 30 points in a day and may swing 5 points or more a dozen times during the day
I would guess that I have traded sdli in excess of 100 times over the last few weeks
also, I am a wimp when it comes to risk on these "wild" ones
I tend to go for a lot of consistant singles rather than swinging for the fences
