Noted that it had dropped as low as $81 and before I knew it, the stock was back in 90s.
Lol, I've started making small changes to our portfolios recently (before last Thursday) and had a little cash to play around with in wifey's portfolio. Had a limit order in on JNJ for $95 thinking that if it got there I'd take advantage of it.
This morning I looked at the futures before the market opened, it was pretty negative so dropped the limit order down to $92 thinking it wouldn't fill. Lo and behold, I get to work and by the time I was able to log in, it had filled at $85 and change on the open. Holy cow ... if I'd known that, I would've bought more. It was supposed to be a top off purchase.
