In regards to after hours trading: After hours trading was halted immediately after the bell. I shorted 1000 shares just before close but could not execute an instanet trade. The 37 1/4 trade at 16:24 was an irregular trade. There is no instanet trading after 17:00. Although my position is good (shorted at 37 5/16), I am pissed as the trade was on an intraday margin credit. I was hoping to cover on instanet after the announcement but will now have to wait until Wed. As the Vinman notes, the way this crazy market trades COMS will probably be up 2 points on a terrible earnings report with a nice spin.
