Something hinky going on... trade this morning

CrashCrash

...Well, it was an ATTEMPTED trade, a limit-order, wanting to buy PCFBY, which is Pac. Basin Shipping. I checked three different sources for current share price. All of them showed a price under $10 at that moment. On the TRADING (transaction) page at the TRP brokerage, the share price was up over $10.25...... But when I navigated to a different page (still logged-in,) the share price that showed there actually jived with the others.

I bought RGR, instead. But I'm not happy about the way this happened. It sucks. Just sharing, here.

    PCFBY is a very thinly traded ADR (about 2K avg volume). You could set limit-buy and forget it. You bought RGR instead to do what? (-:)

    ...To do what? Well, to di-worse-ify. I taught riflery at summer camp a million years ago. There's even more demand these days for guns. Not just for hunting, but to make the crazy-ass militia-types happy. Last time I was target shooting with my friend was too long ago. Fun. (Spell-checker does not like the word, riflery? Screw it, then.). RGR was on my watch-list. Still allegedly undervalued. (per Morningstar, per Simply Wall Street, per Barron's.)

    *Anyhow, that share-price discrepancy rubs me the wrong way. Should not BE, dammit.

    Not to politicize the discussion, but I read this AM in NY Times that gun sales since 2000 have tripled. Somebody has to be making money there.

    ......But not TODAY. Frikkin' massacre in the Markets.
    Doesn't it just figure that I bought soon after the open.

    @ Crash : I 'm now thinking you bought stock , not a MF ?I have been sending buys in after close & the next day Mr. Market is up . Then the next day it bombs. I feel your pain !

    Better luck next time, Derf

    Thanks, @Derf. You're correct.
