Check out GAIA

All of a sudden , they announce an offering after the bell today.

Stock was doing well until today, when mysteriously, big selling .

Yeah.

ok, I'll play. why is that any indication of "rigging". do you mean insider selling ?

was it a registered offering ? it could have been on the syndicate calendar for weeks.

You want to play or do some legwork. Look at the chart. Got to the sec site and look at the filing.

Looks like this came out of left field and was frontrun today.

Talking of which , look at the u.s. Dollar before 911, it never matters till it's you that loses , then it matters.

That's why I usually sell with biotechs after a massive run up because there almost always is a Shelf or Secondary offering. Your username tells me you've been around, at least old enough to remember Select Net and the SOES system because of the corruption during October 1987. You got to plan these shelf-offerings will happen because the company figures its time to cash in and get their needed working-capital.

If the thread was about how to trade 15 simultaneous flying wedge reversed condors, we'd have 50 posts by now

Take a photo of yourself....holding bricks of cash, or ass or breasts or Ferrari or Porsche keys or eating a steak and lobster or popping champagne over your body, or holding a $5,000 espresso machine -- And everyone would be instantly hooked :wtf:

It does happen, and it doesn't make trading stocks easier.

All you can do as a stock trader is have a stop-loss in place, and hope that occasionally you pick on one of these indications so you can get out quick - or get in quick.

I rarely trade stocks, focusing on indices and forex now. Stocks are too unpredictable and this episode is just one reason why.
