TDIC, October 14: two filings, one halt, and $3.90
TDIC opened near its previous close after a Form 4, then ran to $3.90 through one halt during the session.
What happened
Draft for review. Not published.
Two filings, a fast climb
Two filings woke up a sleepy stock. A Form 4 (an insider trade) came at 10:57, and a Schedule 13D (a 5% holder's stake) at 11:05. It ran from $1.69 to $2.64 by 11:07.
The halt at $2.64
The halt froze it on top of a huge bid. A 190K-share bid, 7.2% of the float, sat at $2.64 when it was paused at 11:07:20.
Stop It's 11:27. TDIC has been halted since 11:07, and its last trade was $2.64. The halt is still on. Would you buy the reopen?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 11:24 a.m. and stop at 11:27 a.m. ET for your call.
It reopened at 11:27:20 at $3.36, 27% higher. It hit $3.90, the day's high, that same minute.
The $2.15 bid breaks
The slide found a floor at $2.15, then lost it. A bid sat there from 11:57 and grew to about 49K shares.
Stop It's 12:53. TDIC is at $2.20. About 49,000 shares are bid at $2.15, just below. Would you buy here?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 12:50 p.m. and stop at 12:53 p.m. ET for your call.
In 28 seconds, sellers took 41K shares at $2.15, and the bid was gone. That minute closed at $2.10. The stock ended the day at $2.27 on 9.2M shares.
What to take from it: Here a halt reopened 27% above a big bid, and a later 49K-share bid broke in 28 seconds.
