Apparently related to the Momenta news ... full two minute delay until the stock reacted, so much for an efficient market ... assume scanner would have seen this one too, though at 12:24 not 12:22.
Momenta Pharma Pop, 1 Minute View
Gained some momenta at lunchtime ... scanner would have caught it, no idea what the news was (see link below) ... terrible one to hold into the close, one of those oh wells ... be nice to ask an unemployed axe on Twitter what the press release meant ... this is a 5 min overlaid on a 1 min ... not sure if my dozen readers like these overlay charts (I love 'em).
12:30PM Momenta Pharmaceuticals Announces FDA Approval of ANDA for Glatopa(TM) (glatiramer acetate injection), the First Substitutable Generic for COPAXONE(R) (glatiramer acetate injection) 20mg GlobeNewswire
Usual StockTwits suspects, though too slow off the mark this time:

UWTI seems to be the new vehicle people are using to play Crude Earl ...
Summary of Weekly Petroleum Data for the Week Ending April 10, 2015
Didn't have the scanner on while in the jungles of SE Asia, but I assume it would have caught it ... note the tricky bar at 10:29 ... this is a 1 min and 5 min overlay:

A Comment from the Peanut Gallery
Alcatel-Lucent Pop, 1 Minute View
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
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.

Nokia Pop, 1 Minute View
Supposedly looking to sell map business ... not sure where it was reported, maybe here first: 10:33AM Nokia Said to Weigh Sale of Maps Business to Focus on Networks at Bloomberg ... good play if you were a fast boy and not already tied up in GE.
Symantec Pop, 1 Minute View
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.

GE to Create Simpler, More Valuable Industrial Company by Selling Most GE Capital Assets
GE more active than even SPY ... fast boys got in below $26 pre-open, slowpokes under $27 ... paying $27.22 at the open wouldn't have been the end of the world either.

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.
