Avoid this stock now.

Put in the symbol SYNA and find out why it isn't going higher anytime soon: http://beanieville.blogspot.com

Btw, they even suggest the next Microsoft - must read.

Several people have already said what I was thinking. Stops don't work like that. If a stock is at 36 and you put in a stop loss at 33 and it falls to 28 in after hours (or pre-market) trading, you don't get 33.

If I'm wrong about this someone let me know, but I'm 99.5% sure that's not how stop loss orders work.

hahahahaha, good luck getting $33... you are done!

If you did not get out yet, what sell stop are you refering to? The stock plunged after hours. If you had the stop in during the after hours trading, you might have got $33.

I hope you get out as expected, a stop is no guarantee since it becomes a market order a the price you specified. Better to have bought a put. I'm not in this stock, just perusing message boards...
