I Had Fun Selling Some CRAY This Morning

This was a first time experience...

On Wednesday (02012.04.25, two days ago) I placed a GTC limit order to sell some CRAY at $9.42. I didn't have a specific sell price, so I multiplied Pi by three and rounded it to the nearest penny to get $9.42.

Today, Friday (02012.04.27), the GTC limit order was executed at a sale price of $10.36.

Yesterday, Thursday (02012.04.26), CRAY closed at $8.90. Cray reported 1Q'12 results after the close. Today CRAY had a "gap open" and opened at $10.36.

$10.36 is almost a 10% increase over my Pi-based limit order price of $9.42.
