JBDI, October 16: a run to $3.95
JBDI opened up 12%, ran to $3.95, then gave back most of the run by the close.
What happened
Before the open
We found no news or filing before the move. Before the bell it reached $2.71, on 67K shares.
The open

The close
It closed at $2.56, 35% under its high.
What to take from it: The high came early. Most of the run was gone by the close, so the move was in the morning, not the hold.
