Weird one, the COO resigned on Friday, but there was next to no after-hours activity, then it blew up at the regular hours open? Impossible to borrow? Would have been a home run assuming you could locate the shares. Always like to talk with a human who played this in the heat of battle.

Movies Watched -- Whiplash
Lots of recommendations for this one, which may have been the problem ("expectations"), but I was not thrilled with this. Stars the same kid who played a teenage alcoholic (which I appreciated) in something else I recently watched (forgot the title) ... "a less Jewish Zuckerberg."
Anyway, it's about a music student and his sadistic drill instructor, er teacher ... it was around 100 minutes which was its saving grace ... I didn't fast forward so it gets a yellow rating, but I definitely would not recommend it. From 2014 I can still recommend only The Lunchbox and Nightcrawler, nothing else.
The Sarah Silverman Program -- Season One
Didn't know anything about Sarah Silverman, but really enjoyed the episode she did for Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, which led me to her TV show. First season is only six episodes ... around 20 minutes each ... very funny, very offensive, nothing is sacred, no one is spared ... she's smart and pretty (in a Jewy way, as she would say), almost exactly my age, and clearly smokes a lot of pot, god bless her. She probably evokes strong emotions (love or hate) in people. Looking forward to season two.
Banshee -- Season Three
This show continues to astound me. Just when I think, how can they top the last outrageous episode, they do. Ultra-violent, lots of soft-core "Skinemax" sex, and snappy dialogue -- not for the squeamish or prudish ... I got a little more insight into their target audience since an entire episode this season was from the perspective one has in a first-person shooter video game.
The casting of this show is really interesting... they're not relying on the usual Hollywood friends of friends and favors called in, they're actually getting talented, interesting people to do the work for a change.
The ideal viewer is a young white male, probably a teenager, who is into the military, "special ops," first-person shooter video games, cage fighting, pornography (obviously), but is not a dummy ... he appreciates well-crafted drama, which Banshee surely is. I'm looking forward to season four!
Comcast Whammy, 1 Minute View
Probably would have lost money here ... yes, the scanner was running and did pick this up (hard to miss) ... would have shorted and immediately gotten stopped out ... maybe a fast boy reverses and gets long when stopped out, but nah, I wouldn't have.

Teva Pharma Drop, 1 Minute View
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).
