What happened
Before the open
The news came first: news at 6:27 a.m. Before the bell it reached $1.17, on 11M shares.
The open
It opened up 35%, at $1.12. It ran to $1.90 by 9:49 a.m.
The halts
Trading stopped once, at 9:43 a.m.
The close
It closed at $1.54, 19% under its high.
What to take from it: The high came early. Most of the run was gone by the close, so the move was in the morning, not the hold.
The details
How it traded, step by step
Gap, run, gave some back. It gapped up 34.9% to $1.12 at the open, ran from the open to the high of $1.90 in 19 minutes through a halt, then gave back 46% of that move by 4:00 p.m., trading at $1.54, still above the open.

On the day's lists: the intraday runners. It is here because it was in play on the intraday runners: up 30% or more on $3 million or more really traded, outside the small-cap rule's price, relative volume or float, its high reached $1 or more and it started the day at $20 or under (the rule every page uses).
