    what's that about?

    full disclosure: complete, total n00b here. the recent crash got my attention. I'm 34 and honestly have no idea what I'm doing. so far, just bought my first stock, netflix @ 322. lost about $600 bucks on couple of these trendy over-hyped biotech's that are just paper tigers built on pure speculation and optimism. I've learned a few things real quick, but really feel like I'm at the bottom of this pig-pile and I'm trying to learn the smart ways up the ladder.

    school me. please!

    PS - looking to get into the big names for the mid-term. Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, and probably Apple. I'll probably try to hold for 4-5 years until I'm ready to cash in to help bolster some big home improvements. what's the general feeling on when we'll see the floor? I feel like it's going to be some time during the next week (23rd - 27th).

    Could be several things.

    1) Bad tick, it was an error in the chart itself
    2) A real buy trade, perhaps a market order that needed to be filled at a higher price because AH trading was too thin at the lower levels.
    3) A delayed settlement from earlier in the day that only printed later in AH trading.
