JAGX, October 5: an 8-K, three halts, and $6.69 after hours
JAGX opened up 17%, ran to $6.00 through three halts, then gave back most of the run by the close.
What happened
Draft for review. Not published.
The filing and the first halt
The 8-K filed at 8:45 a.m. did not move JAGX at first. It opened at $4.27, up 17% from the $3.66 close, and sat flat for 20 minutes.
At 9:51 it woke up and ran to $4.95. A halt froze it there at 9:52:51.
Stop It's 9:57. JAGX has been halted since 9:52 with a last trade at $4.95, and it was $4.27 at the 9:51 open. The pre-market high of $4.73 is behind it. Would you buy the reopen?
Press play: the real Level 2, tape and chart run from 9:54 a.m. and stop at 9:57 a.m. ET for your call.
Here's what happened. It reopened at 9:57:51 near $4.94 and kept climbing. A second halt hit at $5.66 a minute later.
The costly reopen
The second reopen had only 92 shares for sale near the screen price.
It reached $5.90 at 10:05. An ask wall at $6.53 was pulled at 10:06:32. The stock then slid to $4.62 by 10:16.
Top, fade, after hours
The regular-session top came at 10:36, at $6.00. A bid wall at $5.00 was pulled at 11:02:12. The last regular-session bar closed at $4.70.
After hours it climbed to $6.69 at 5:42 p.m., the high of the whole day.
What to take from it: Here the same 5,000-share reopen buy cost $36 over the screen at one halt and $1,422 at the next.
