I hope everyone reading this thread realizes that there were a ton of people that got their accounts annihilated today, but they are not posting about it, probably because it hurts too much.
So let's say these people bought at 1.00 or something ridiculous like 1.20 a week or 2 ago.
Now, the stock was halted all day, and then the rejection news came out.
Alot of people panicked, while this was halted, and probably put in stop loss orders, lets say at 75 cents.
What they may not have realized is that once the price of CTIC was below 0.75, that stop loss turned into a MARKET SELL ORDER. Which means that, since CTIC opened at 0.35, or whatever, it was, all those orders turned into one GIGANTIC market sell order, which was to the tune of probably 5 million shares, if you look at the chart. The price dropped all the way down to 0.12, and I am sure that a ton of people got their stop losses filled at sells of lets say 0.15 or 0.17 from their buy of 1.20$. Instant account annihilation, if they were unfortunate enough to over allocate, which many were, judging by how bullish and deluded the various CTIC message boards were.
And of course, there was immediate short covering on that news, and CTIC ran up to ~0.50. A wild, wild day, and we should all say a prayer for the CTIC longs who were annihilated today.
