-10% in one week! Unless we're not talking about the same stock (BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust), I don't get the excitement. Or maybe you shorted it and want more traders to do the same.
BPT is a rather obscure and lightly traded royalty trust. What made you notice it? PER is down 34% and SDT down 30% over the last 5 days.
I'm involved with aviation, specifically Beechcraft Bonanzas, and there's a group that offers Bonanza specific training. I thought the acronym was BPT for Bonanza Pilot Training, so I googled BPT, saw the stock and saw the huge dividend, so I bought some, watched it go down $3 in no time, sold it, contemplated buying some puts, but chickened out... Dang it, woulda made some great money... :-(
A 10% decline in a week isn't that big. BPT didn't even make the top 100 list for largest 5 day declines. Number 1 is SIXD down 55.65%. Number 100 is LIFE down 11.43%.
Thanks for the BPT explanation. I had surmised that you had found this oddball royalty trust in an oddball way.
