It's a good way to get world news. The main thing causing the run was a company called InsideDoor or something like that. The tech stock was being investigated and I guess the drop in its prices was making margin calls and so ppl were dumping their porfolios to cover the calls.

I'm still up huge from when I bought it a while ago, but I can't help but feel like a pig on days like these! But, i'm sticking to my plan to hold it until it reports earnings. Wish me luck!
