Let's talk about the absolute mathematical futility of chasing after-hours ghost runs.
Autonomix Medical ($AMIX) surged 46.55% with a grand total of zero news. It is a $2M micro-cap with an 11M float. Our database has tracked 2,411 instances of these no-news, low-float gap-ups of 30% or more.
The historical verdict is brutal: setups like this close down to red 70% of the time, carrying a median intraday loss of over 10%. Contrast that with Rocky Brands ($RCKY), up 16.78% on actual, tangible Q2 earnings. Even then, historical earnings gap-ups of this size still fade to red 52% of the time.
Close the charts, let the chasers absorb the slippage, and update your journal.
