Dear dabum3,

do I understand correctly that you did have a stop in place, but the drop was too sudden?

I am asking because a similar event happened to me recently. I was holding BCRX, moving my trailing stop happily as the stock was climbing, and then, three days ago, the stock dropped. I had the stop rather tight because of the uncertainty of consolidation around the $20 line, but it did me no good, and the stock was sold at the bottom. ;-(
