    well I got robbed for 1k today

    ARNA was running high, around 8.05 I placed a stop order to 7.94!

    I left to work, checked the stock on google and saw it around 8.20

    So i'm thinking, great! it up and I'm making some profit!

    Got home around 3:40 and checked my Scottrade account, boom stocks GONE!

    FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!!!

    Fukin sold my share when the stock was at 7.96 but someone initiated a bid order at 7.94 and they sold it...

    FAAAAAAAAAAK! the stock jumped to 8.36 and I'm out of my stocks...

    apparently no matter what my stop price is, it goes by the bid and I did not know that...

    what a fukin day!

    I like Google a lot as an investment for the long term, but in the next 6-12 months I see it being dragged down with everything else. You will be able to buy it under 500, IMO.

    Rebought ARNA at 8.42, right now trading at 8.62

    Seems like the DEA approval is coming soon and thestreet.com is finally pushing it instead of VVUS

    I've been more than happy to bash NFLX non-stop as a stock, but man this thing is setting up for a mega squeeze if it can close near highs today.

    I don't know about you, but IMO this stock is undervalued...

    yes, chit they have to pay is expensive, but think about it, who else does streaming like they do? no one really..plus their strategy to get into other countries is a good move

    SBUX looks like a stock to keep on the radar!

    Seems like shorties and hedge funds are playing this stock

    even this morning before opening the bid price of 7.75 was accepted (closed yesterday at 8.04) :confused:

    Someone grabbed a bunch of shares at -.29 :eek:

    I will never ever set a stop limit order on volatile stocks

    Of course shorts and longs are playing ARNA just like every single other stock in the stock market. That 7.75 bid got filled because a big seller came in. Simple as that.

    Pretty sure. Volatility in the options for AAPL went nuclear and negativity is absurdly high. Even techcrunch's blog said AAPL is crashing with no bottom in sight on Thursday. http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/15/apples-stock-price-is-crashing-and-the-bottom-is-not-in-sight/

    Pretty bullish in my eyes. Plus the buying after it got pushed off a cliff on Friday was very strong and the price rebounded great.
