I am saying "wow" a lot of late - Sequenom (SQNM) is out with something after hours I've never seen in all the years I've been doing stocks; a delay in their Down Syndrome test due to employee mishandling of data. The stock is down 50% after hours. Worse - this was our only long position I actually have a hedge against, but I covered it into the weakness early this week - basically have 50 shares short as a holding position.
