I am looking at eTrade after hours and it appears that a buy went in at 4:25:23 at $.9125 for 39,362 shares and then a sell went through at 4:25:24 for the same amount of shares at $.901.
Not sure what to make of that one. Very strange.
$172K in support sitting at $.90. I don't believe that $172K was all covering especially with the SEC approving IBIO's Registration of $100M worth of securities. Hmm......

UPDATE: A patient at Massachusetts General Hospital does not have Ebola, as previously suspected. The patient did test positive for Malaria. The hospital posted an update on its website early Wednesday afternoon:

Par for the course.
That was one of the better SA articles I have read in a while, not just because I am playing $IBIO.
I want it to go to $5 or greater but stocks tend to drop in December, especially bio techs. I am looking pass December into next year.
With all of the news regarding testing, funding requests, etc for ebola in early 2015, I am ignoring December for the most part, setting up e-mail alerts through my broker and news alerts through Google Alerts (just completed) and probably taking the rest of the year off since I am fully stacked in IBIO (35K shares deep at $.91 average).
Paper trading is in order for the remainder of the year as well as continuing forward with educational trading courses through Clay Trader University. It will be a better use of my time to polish up on my investing / trading skills and education instead of being glued to the computer looking at every tick when it appears that sellers / shorters have the advantage right now in IBIO and plenty of other stocks.
Things can change overnight if Congress approves Obama's funding request. However, this is a wait and see game. Good luck to you, StarTeam.
I believe Wall Street is waiting for Congress to approve President Obama's request. Also, mix in tax loss selling plus shorting that may be going on.
Come the New Year, ebola testing will ramp up, etc. So, December may prove to be challenging to hold this stock but after President Obama's speech last night along with the Press Release from the White House, for me, I need to hold on through December.
Wall Street is probably waiting to see if Congress will approve the $6 Billion request from President Obama to fight ebola before they go on break. Also, it may be tax-loss selling as well playing a part.
I am watching six ebola tickers and their intra-day patterns look pretty much the same (red). December is a tough month to stomach for stocks. Have some Pepto Bismal nearby.
Thanks Maxxm. I will review....needed to tighten up a little more on the ZMapp / IBIO relationship.
StockWizard, it sounds like your Christmas is coming early. Enjoy!
I have a question. I was reading the Wikipedia article here:

By Rod Mac Johnson | AFP – 3 hours ago
Ebolahit Sierra Leone has quarantined hundreds of thousands more citizens, it said Tuesday, sealing off a sixth district, with more than half of the country's population already under lockdown. Tonkolili, in the centre, was added to the growing list of districts which no one is allowed to leave or enter without special dispensation, in an effort to combat an outbreak which is spiralling out of control, with 1,400 deaths so far.
"The twoweek lockdown was agreed in a key stakeholders meeting of cabinet ministers, parliamentarians and paramount chiefs of the district as part of efforts to stem the spread of the disease," a health ministry spokesman said.
The northern districts of Port Loko and Bombali were closed off indefinitely along with the southern district of Moyamba in September effectively sealing in more than one million people. With the eastern districts of Kenema and Kailahun already under quarantine, more than half of the population of six million in six of the nation's 14 districts now finds itself unable to move freely.
Tonkolili, a district of around 400,000 people some 350 kilometres (220 miles) from the capital Freetown, is expected to end its quarantine on December 15, according to health ministry officials. The deadliest Ebola epidemic on record has infected almost 17,000 people in west Africa and although the official death toll is just under 6,000, experts believe the real fatality rate may be as high as 60 or 70 percent.
The virus can fell its victims within days, causing rampant fever, severe muscle pain, vomiting, diarrhoea and in many cases unstoppable internal and external bleeding. 'Dead in no time'
In Sierra Leone, Ebola has infected 7,109 people, killing 1,530, by the World Health Organization's count. Announcing the shutdown, Education Minister Minkailu Bah urged Sierra Leoneans to end funeral rites involving washing the bodies of the dead, one of the principal causes of the spread of the highly infectious virus. "We know it is our culture but leave this out for now. Put it aside. If it is continued, we will all be dead in no time," he said.
Tonkolili, one of the most economically productive parts of Sierra Leone, has seen a relatively small proportion of the country's Ebola infections but is experiencing a continued spread which threatens its farming and mining industries. The district sits atop the largest iron ore deposit in Africa and hosts the continent's biggest bio energy company, Addax Petroleum, while sugar and rubber production are also major contributors to the country's economy. The quarantine echoes a nationwide threeday shutdown in September, called in a bid to find unreported cases.
Outbreak investigation teams will go door to door educating locals and uncovering cases of infection and death hidden from the authorities.
"The lockdown is holding as people are allowing health officials access to their homes," a resident told AFP by telephone. "They are opening their doors and inviting contact tracers into their parlours and even bedrooms to search for sick people. "I cannot say whether any sick people have been discovered so far but people are enthusiastic to put the Ebola virus behind them once and for all.

NEW YORK (AP) — NBC News medical reporter Nancy Snyderman will be back on the network Wednesday after being shelved for more than a month following a violation of her quarantine for possible Ebola exposure.
A network executive who spoke on condition of anonymity because it was a personnel matter said Tuesday that Snyderman will report on a medical issue for the ‘‘Today’’ show and NBC’s ‘‘Nightly News.’’ The story won’t be about Ebola.
There was some question about whether the veteran medical journalist would ever return to NBC News. She had been reporting on the Ebola outbreak in Liberia for NBC in October at the time a cameraman who briefly worked with her, Ashoka Mukpo, came down with the deadly virus. Mukpo was transferred back to the United States for treatment and has since recovered.
Snyderman and the rest of the NBC team were urged to quarantine themselves for a 21-day period upon their return to the United States. Neither she nor anyone else from the network came down with Ebola.
During the midst of that quarantine, Snyderman and her crew were spotted getting takeout food from a New Jersey restaurant, prompting New Jersey officials to make her quarantine mandatory.
Her takeout foray angered her bosses and unleashed a bitter response online, with some suggestions by viewers that they would have a hard time trusting her again after the mistake in judgment. NBC News President Deborah Turness told Snyderman to take some time off.
There’s no word on whether Snyderman will address the issue with viewers when she returns to the air.
Snyderman, a surgeon, has been at NBC News since 2006 after spending 17 years as a medical correspondent for ABC News.

12/2/2014: Suspected Ebola Patient Being Treated at Boston Hospital

Massachusetts General Hospital is treating a patient suspected of having contracted the Ebola virus, Public Affairs Officer Noah Brown has confirmed to Boston.com.
Boston Public Health Commission spokesperson McKenzie Ridings said the commission does not comment on suspected cases of any illness. The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
"At 2 p.m. today while undergoing routine monitoring by the Boston Public Health Commission, an individual, determined to be a person under investigation for Ebola virus disease, was admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital for evaluation. As you know, the MGH has spent the past several months preparing in the event we should have a patient with suspected Ebola come to the hospital. The individual is now in a specially prepared area within the hospital. Diagnostic testing is under way. Again, a diagnosis of Ebola has not been confirmed."
"As always, our focus is the health and safety of our patients, their families and our staff members. We want to reassure you that the hospital is safe. Even though it is unconfirmed that the individual has the Ebola virus, we are taking the actions recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a precaution. We will continue to keep you updated as more information becomes available."
MGH has been preparing for an Ebola case for some time. The hospital recently hosted a training exercise last month to simulate the evaluation and initial management of a patient who has suspected Ebola coming to the hospital for care. Staff members who participated in the drill were involved in reviewing and refining the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) Response Plan.
MGH has also been involved in testing devices that would allow them to treat Ebola cases remotely. In a recent demonstration at the Cambridge lab, researchers were able to manipulate the rate at which a ventilator provided air, slowing and speeding the breaths taken by a dummy patient.
Steven Hatch, Assistant Professor of Medicine at UMass Medical School, recently spent six weeks in Liberia treating Ebola patients. The Boston physician is an infectious disease specialist.
“All the other patients at Mass General are going to be fine. I’m sure by now all the major hospitals in Massachusetts, as part of a coordinated effort, have their act together.”
Despite having spent time surrounded by confirmed Ebola cases in a Liberian clinic, Hatch said he never feared contracting the disease.
“I never feared what would happen to me while I was over there. Not because I didn’t think something bad might happen. I understood I was putting my life on the line the same way I think a soldier does going into battle. Fear is not going to help you make good decisions.”
The market didn't move after hours at all on the 6 tickers I watched after Obama's speech. Wall Street may be waiting for Congress to officially approve the funding.
Thanks. $SMED now on watch.
WWE was smart about doing free month of the WWE Network and actually putting on a good pay-per-view (Survivor Series). Let's hope this translates into more subs.
Gotta love those ATM tickers.
If Congress agrees and approves the funding, I think we will see most, if not all, of the good ebola related tickers run hard.
Obama speaking now on Ebola: http://www.whitehouse.gov/live/president-obama-delivers-remarks-national-institutes-health
A New Year's bounce could be nuts in IBIO and other Ebola tickers. I have seen the New Year's runs - not upset stomach runs - on plenty of stocks.
Great post. Thanks for sharing.
Agreed. A good one to watch and chart.
Ha ha! Rubbing it in.
If we close above $1, we still have the catalyst of Pres Obama's speech at 5:05PM for after market trading and run-up for tomorrow.. After Market hours is a whole different beast. On another ticker I recently traded, I saw my regular hours profit of $400 jump to $2500 in after hours in 10 minutes.
Yes sir, I bailed with $2500.
$LAKE and $APT are running hard....could be pulling $IBIO with them. Cha-ching!
Support is building up lovely on IBIO now....brings a smile to my face.
