Yes, it is complete bullsht. It was a good trading opportunity. The specialist is probably sitting on his butt and can't handle the orders. So he halts.
AP FDA Panel Votes Against New Avastin Use Wednesday December 5, 4:14 pm ET By Matthew Perrone, AP Business Writer
Yet one more scam on the retail trader. Stock opens for trading AFTER HOURS, after being halted at 2:30. Fortunately I was out before the halt on a quick short, but if I was still in I would be raging.
No, it went up after hours. I think its just a small scare. It should be up tommorow. The FDA vote was 5 to 4. Its too close to call. FDA can make up its own mind when you have a vote that close. Now is a good buying opportunity.
