It's the way it works and nobody feels good about it except the infamous orchestrators. They know for today they don't have to worry about news. However I would think nobody would want to be without their shares come Monday morning because that could very well be the time for news and perhaps a halt.
So perhaps the share price will come back before the close. Normally traders don't like to hold over the weekend. In this case I would think the opposite would be true. And yes, definately another great buying opportunity..
Have a great weekend all.
