AXCL... I understand your frustration but I believe you're overreacting. You're putting too much emphasis on a PR that does not immediately translate into money and unless you were here for a quick pop, no damage has been done. This was just an infomative PR today to let us know progress is being made. A lot of daytraders were taking profit as well. This is to be expected. Maybe you are not sitting on the profits that a lot of us are and therefore these little "potholes in the road" are making you a little more nervous. If you're not a daytrader, this shouldn't bother you so bad as it will all come out in the wash if you remain patient. Daytraders were ultimately looking for an announcement that said "we have begun drilling" and now they know they would have to wait another 10-12 days before they sell so they took there profit and moved on. Those people would have sold anyway, just at a higher profit margin. This also means that the O/S is turning over again and that's good news because stronger investors will be buying at a higher price.
Hang in there bud, because you probably won't find a stock over $3 where you can double your money within a month. Towards the end of trading, market makers like to "paint the tape" because it increases their profit margin for the next morning. Good luck whatever you decide to do.
