• From news to the move: the first trade 20% above the previous close came 14 hours 14 minutes after the latest news item before it (Zacks Investment Research, Oct 29, 8:06 p.m.).
• Volume, from the one-minute bars: 54,284 shares before the 9:30 a.m. open (1%), 998,451 in the first 30 minutes (10%), and 8.50 million in the rest of the day to 8 p.m. (89%).
• In our recaps, this is the only day FMC met the small-cap rule.

On the day's lists: the intraday runners. It is here because it was in play on the intraday runners: up 30% or more on $3 million or more really traded, outside the small-cap rule's price, relative volume or float, its high reached $1 or more and it started the day at $20 or under (the rule every page uses).

The exchange's halt feed shows no halts for FMC that day.
