What happened
Draft for review. Not published.
A quiet morning
The 8:00 a.m. shareholder-vote headline barely moved this thin stock. It drifted from $0.67 to $0.729 by late morning. At 11:54:08 one order swept 14,467 shares up to $0.74, then the price faded.
A thin afternoon
At 12:41 it reached $0.80.
Stop It's 3:43. VRME is at $0.7800. The stock has traded between about $0.76 and $0.78 for much of the afternoon, below the $0.80 high from 12:41. Trading is thin: the last few minutes traded only a few hundred shares or less, and many minutes have no trades at all. The only news was the 8:00 a.m. shareholder-vote headline, and there have been no halts. The market closes in about 17 minutes. Would you buy here?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 3:40 p.m. and stop at 3:43 p.m. ET for your call.
It held near $0.78 to the close, on only 101K shares all session.
After hours: $1.10
The real move came after the bell. It hit $1.10 at 4:23 p.m. on 8.6M after-hours shares. By 7:59 p.m. it was $0.927.
What to take from it: On this thin stock, the quiet regular session said little about the move after the bell.
