When you are a short term trader this happens a lot. But I really messed up by not seeing they were reporting. But then again, they could have came up with disappointing numbers and it could have reversed, right? I very often will buy a popular stock that is down for the day and then sell it in after hours. Right now I will be gradually buying FB at these levels - even if I have to wait to make any money on them.
