>>9:47 Coms trading at 32.25. Seems to be hitting heavy resistance at 32,375. May be more short selling at that level. All things considered this has not been the disaster that many were predicting last night. Coms is now only down the same amount it was yesterday with no news. No where near the mid 20s as many on this thread were predicting last night<< COMS is still a good short sale opportunity at this point. It may not see its bottom today but in a few days.

Finder, I at least wasn't predicting mid 20s for today. But to put it bluntly, today's activity only means there are a lot of knife grabbers. Take note from INTC activity the day after they announced last qtrs earnings: The stock gapped down to $86 from $92ish, and traded throughout the day on very heavy volume, actually ending the day higher than it opened. But as the ensuing days showed, those people who bought the approx 65 million shares were probably regretting it. Today INTC trades at ~76. That means 650 million dollars lost, if those people that bought at the gap-down to 86 are still holding. At any rate, I can't see any good news on COMS. I took a 6-1/8 pt hit when I sold today. However, I did decide to load up on some puts. If I can't make it long, then maybe I'll have better luck short (synthetically). DK
