Checked back in after the close and it is actually up for the day. Oh well.
Don't you hate that? I checked pre-market action around 9:00 this morning and there were a few bargains I was interested in. Like you, I set limit orders only pennies below the pre-market price. Most of them opened at a higher price and they all closed much higher and never traded.
Did get a lowball limit order for General Mills that I had in for about a month to finally fill today.
