Trade recap for 10/28: Banking on AMLM despite messing up

The pumped stock AMLM decided today would be a good day to die. Luckily IB had 30,000 shares to short this morning so I hopped on board that train right after the market opened. It was a no-brainer to short as it had broken support yesterday and it was gapping down today. By the way, COMV short on red was a great call from my watchlist although I was distracted by AMLM and did not play it.

  1. I tried to short 500 shares of AMLM in the pre-market morning. I met the bid at 2.10 and about 3-4 minutes later, there were 400 shares traded at 2.00 and the bid/ask moved to 1.95/1.99. I have no idea how to explain that.

    It annoyed me and I did not want to get back in. Next trade I guess.
