Don't Panic Please (the close, nothing to worry about)

What just happend was something called the market on close. Known as MOC.
At 3:40PM, the TSX release buy and sell orders that will be executed at the close.
Today (because of options expirations), CXR had a HIGH volume of shares for the close.
CXR had over 500,000 to SELL.
What this means is that at 4:00, someone press market SELL 500,000 shares and this is what happens..
We were at around $52.50 when the TSX release that CXR would sell 500K. This brought its price down to $51.80 at 4PM and then WHOOSH to $50.41.

This is only temporary and assuming, market doesn't tank Monday, CXR should start at around $52.50.
Evereyone understand?

Thanks for clarification. PARTY at my house!!

Also, if the price is $51.80 at 3:59 PM, you can see this sell of 500K, and put in a buy order at $51. What happens is, at the close when all those shares are all sold, THERE IS ONLY ONE PRICE. If that WHOOSH at market goes all the way down to $50.41, EVEN IF YOU HAD a sell at $51, you will get filled at $50.41. Yes $50.41. I saw all this, sold 1/4 of my shares at $52.15 and put in a bid at $51 ...more

  Notwrong has resurrected as pineapple. How cute! Prickly on the outside, not ripe enough to be sweet on the inside. Grow up and stop harassing people.
