OK, I think I follow you now... I just didn't understand the logic. I looked back at another stock I sold recently (that was scaring me because of the fluctuations in oil)to see if I screwed up getting out when I did. The bid is now at $ 4.74 with an ask of $ 6.73, where previously there was always only about .05 between the two- not $2.00.
Forgive my ignorance here, but can I assume the huge spread is broker driven?
