It happens every frickin' day so it should not surprise anyone.
That is a sum of missed trades that did not post during the regular session. It's below the close because the stock was on an uptrend from about 11:30 on.
Not real sure why anyone would thumbs down this post. It is what it is!
Thanks!
Actually, Barron's and Hedgeye haven't added anything new. The just keep repeating the same things.

This has the feeling of a hedge fund doing a forced liquidation. Panic selling has set in. The stock needs a blow off low, but it continues to fall like a rock.
On a little over 1,000 shares. Meaningless!
Sentiment: Hold
Someone is selling out of the money puts like crazy. Buyer is forced to delta hedge by shorting the stock, to remain neutral. Remember, there is a huge short position, and it's the last day of the month.
Meaningless 100 share trade above the ask.
Shorts are selling out of the money puts like crazy, forcing the specialist to short to remain delta neutral. It only works for 3 days. They are out of stock to short, so this is the only course they have available. There is a good writeup on SHU.

It had a lot more to do with the 7,000+ calls open at $90, than anything else. That would have represented a $1,050,000 hit for the seller, had they allowed the stock to close at $91.50, So they shorted like crazy in that range, started the drop a little before 2, and covered in the last half hour, while keeping the price withing striking distance of $90.
Options expiration.
This is options expiration, nothing more. There are a ton of calls sitting at $90. Seller is working hard to get them to expire worthless. I just bought more.
