I tried to be a nice guy and provide liquidity to various markets today, but I was told to go pound sand.

Yeah, I struck out today as well. Updating beta's right at the open, may have screwed up pricing.

Thank goodness for the automated spreadsheet. CVS (me too)... Sold 2000 at 37.60 (of course), bought 1000 back immediately at 37.52. I "chickened out" and paid 37.75 for other 1,000 - only lost $70.
Overall, ended up +$600 ...back to "normal" I guess.

Sorry chiguy. I pulled him, luckily. what a nasty open. There were analyst comments on him and that was the deciding factor for me.
