Very difficult to catch when they move this fast ... always like talking with a human who got it.

Nanex tweeted but didn't post one of his wonderful millisecond charts, alas. 

Usual suspects on top of it at StockTwits, including OpenOutcrier of course.

Rectify -- Season Two

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Really enjoy this show ... it's talk talk talk, but the respectful treatment of Southern culture and religion something you don't normally see on TV, as well as other serious themes (guilt, redemption, justice, etc.) ... season two sets up season three in a cliffhanger fashion.  Can recommend this to my dozen readers.

Wouldn't have made any money on this, even if you were super quick. "Rumor" of Veritas sale what drove this ... lots of "rumors" these days, not sure how they get disseminated, but you can bet that wise guys are positioned in advance.

View from Nanex's non-$9.99 data feed ... came all the way back in to $24.50 from $25.20 in those tens seconds. 

Walgreens Boots Behaving Badly

Weird spike at 3 PM ... would have burned me if I had played it ... fortunately asleep on SwissAir at the time. Reported earnings in the morning and this is an all-time higher (all-timer high?), but this didn't treat the day traders kindly. 

Movies Watched -- Nightcrawler

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Really enjoyed this one even though it was a bit long at nearly two hours. Jake Gyllenhaal plays a great fast-talking petty thief / conman / "nightcrawler" (one who films late-night gore for local TV news) ... his high-speed weirdo Dale Carnegie patter is irresistible, and his winning amoral grin a thing of genius.  Another New Normal movie, American standard of living (and morality) in permanent decline is sort of the backdrop.  This is a movie I can recommend from 2014, along with "The Lunchbox." 

If you liked Nightcrawler and can think of similar movies I'd also like, please send me your recommendations.

More consolidation in the drug sector ... didn't have the scanner running but assume it would have caught this ... two minutes before PR Newswire timestamp ... if you paid near top of bar $66.92 it would have been disappointing but assuming a sub-$64 entry the risk reward was ok. 

Banshee -- Season Two

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Really enjoy this show, ultra-violence combined with lots of soft-core sex and witty dialogue, what's not to like?  Alan Ball really has his finger on the pulse, doesn't he? Target audience must skew young and white and very male. 

Black Mirror -- Season One

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Three one hour episodes, recommended by Twitter buddy @JasonReno3 ... disturbing stuff, episode one disgustingly absurd, episodes two and three both dystopian near-future visions. Can't really recommend them unless you like being troubled.
