AT &T Wireless After Hours Rally

Quote from thetraderprofit:

The stock rallied from 10.61 to as high as 11.25.

Anybody seen any news?

Given I shorted 14,000 against the imbalance, I'm already down
$8000 on the position .

It started suddenly rallying abt 20 mins after the close.
I know it's in play, but I'm wondering..........................

I was watching CNBC while Cramer & Co were talking about suitors for AWE. The real-time ticker showed some trades from +.07 to + .62 cents. Then it subsided.
 
Thanks trader.net. I thought it happened before Cramer. If that's all it was, it probably will open down, not up. But, I can't believe
there's not something else going on to drive the price up that much on hundreds of thousands of shares.


Being a fatalist, I'm sure it will open at $30
 
My goodness, I though you should long th stock. But it occurs odd to me that you have no problem with 14K shares of a $10 stock but complain about $8000 paper loss in a few hours. Anyhow, it may be a good idea to close the short before 8K exceeds 140K.

I don't think, under any circumstances, the stock will open above 11.50

When I start thinking like this it's time to take the loss. When I'm in a losing position but I'm "absolutely sure" about my position, I usually get handed my hat.

AT&T Wireless STARTED a formal auction process on Thursday. Cingular's NON-BINDING bid was already in the stock. It seems extremely unlikely a much higher bid would emerge 1 day into the auction process.

This is my reason for saying I don't think it will open above $11.50.


I am using reasoned judgment developed over 5 1/2 years of highly profitable trading.

I do agree that when one is reduced to "hoping", one is likely to lose more. I am not anywhere near that stage.
I simply think that covering in the post-market when there was no news was not the thing to do. I may indeed be proven wrong. I am up $48,500 this month, so I can fade a little heat.
 
I don't like to lose. Now I may lose more. I'll take some anxiety medication and at least I won't have to worry about it till Monday
cause there's nothing I can do now.

By the way, what is AH?
