What happened
Draft for review. Not published.
A sleepy stock wakes up
OMH traded just 1,591 shares before the open, and no headline came out. It was halted at 9:42 and again at 9:51, and reopened at $6.53 at 10:01. During the 10:17 minute the whole 5.1M-share float had traded.
A reopen higher, then a slide
Halted at $9.20 at 11:50:22, it reopened at $10.48 and touched $12.58 that minute.
By 12:45 it had dropped to $3.43, 73% under that high.
The offer at $10.00
A 49K-share offer appeared at $10.00 at 3:22 p.m., during a halt.
Stop It's 3:27. OMH reopened at $9.06 at 3:26:57 and the 3:27 minute opened at $9.40. A 49K-share offer sits at exactly $10.00. Would you buy here?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 3:24 p.m. and stop at 3:27 p.m. ET for your call.
At 3:27:11 trades hit $10.00. In four seconds, 48,008 shares traded there and the wall was gone.
It hit $18.23 at 3:50 p.m. and closed the regular session at $15.29, 16% under. After hours it touched $18.88 at 4:12, then $10.58 by 4:44.
What to take from it: A 49K-share offer at $10.00 stopped nothing: buyers ate it in four seconds, and the stock was at $18.23 within half an hour.
