Why did IMCL tank large pre 'good' news??

1) They got the word , and got it wrong (cell phone static)

2) The bOyZ were running the usual stop running scam but it got away from them. (fell faster than they planned, or maybe they just wanted to run every single stop on the E*trade books).

3) Martha panicked

4) They got the word , and the guy handling the call was dyslexic

5) Sam panicked

6) All of the Above
 
Can someone who was watching the IMCL level two at the time the Halt was lifted (4:20 or so), please tell me the highest price it was trading at. It's really hard to get an accurate chart of aftermarket trading.

Was it actually possible to sell the stock at, say, $47 or higher??

thanks in advance
 
It appears that there may have been a rumor going around about how the drug Erbitux would be "labelled", with certain disclaimers, restrictions, etc., or perhaps they just didn't think that it was gonna get approval, period.

In any event, Genetech should have Avastin cleared for colon cancer therapy which might actually be used more broadly than Erbitux.

Stay tuned!

Yeah, 48 was doable.

And if you're GSCO, you should know that :D
 
the first rumors were that the drug was rejected. if you look at many other bios and also their partner BMY, they all tanked at the same time. looks like somebody got bad info.

CNBC Joe Kernan poked fun of Martha Stewart and said maybe Martha placed another Stop Loss Order in to Sell IMCL yesterday.
