Back in June, the first iQIYI (NASDAQ:IQ) was the darling of young traders, who gobbled up “the Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) of China” with abandon.

On a wholly separate note, last Thursday morning, before the opening bell, there was some kind of announcing about Overstock (one of the companies I love to hate) and blockchain technology. Even with the crypto space in ruins, this somehow create a monster price gap, with Overstockcom (NASDAQ:OSTK) opening up nearly 25% higher. I had no position in this security, but if you’ll note the price gap below, you will see that the effect was, shall we say, short-lived. Indeed, we’re at lower prices now than we’ve seen in months, even with the ridiculous blockchain hoo-ha.
