It was another volatile one for investors. Among the 10 biggest losers this week were the country's largest digital video service provider, recent IPOs specializing in edgy headphones and online dating in China, and even a smartphone company with 70 million subscribers.
Recognize any stocks you own there?
AutoChina led the way down, after the Chinese commercial vehicle sales, servicing, leasing, and support network received a troublesome NASDAQ notice. The exchange is moving to delist the company because it has failed to file its financials in a timely manner.
AutoChina promises to appeal the decision, but investors would just prefer if AutoChina got on the ball and actually met the exchange's compliance requirements.
A head-on collision between AutoChina and NASDAQ wasn't the only thing that went wrong this week. Let's take a look at 10 of this week's biggest disappointments.
Netflix turned into a horror flick after lowering its domestic subscriber guidance. It now sees just 24 million stateside accounts on its rolls by the end of this month, short of the 25 million that it was originally targeting.
Research In Motion is coming to grips with its waning popularity. There may be 70 million BlackBerry subscribers out there, but its latest quarter was the first time that it sold fewer smartphones than the year before. It also didn't help that Thursday night's report found the BlackBerry picker posting sharper declines in revenue and adjusted earnings than Wall Street was expecting.
Silvercorp stumbled after a second online report surfaced, accusing the silver miner of misrepresenting the productivity and profitability of its Ying Mining Camp mine in China. The Vancouver-based company is disputing the claims, putting its money where its mouth is by buying back shares later in the week.
Jiayuan is China's largest online dating website. There was no Jiayuan-specific news, but dot-com mogul IAC (IACI) acquired a 20% stake in Jiayuan rival Zhenai. The investment should put more financial muscle -- and global clout -- in Zhenai.
Golden Star lost its shine after lowering its production expectations for two of its mines. It now sees its Bogoso/Prestea Mine producing 39,000 ounces of gold and its Wassa Mine cranking out 35,000 ounces. Previous estimates were 43,000 ounces at Bogoso/Prestea and 40,000 at Wassa. Wassa matter, Wassa?
Skullcandy hit a new all-time low on Thursday, though that's not saying much since the company just went public two months ago. The maker of edgy audio headphones went public at $20 a share in July. I guess you can call the last two months a gradual fade out.
Cheer Up
If you own one or more of these stocks, my condolences. Some of these companies should bounce back. If you were looking to buy into any of these stocks, the fundamentals behind the sharp declines will likely temper your enthusiasm -- but congratulations on the opportunity to get in at a more attractive price.
Hold your head up either way. The new trading week awaits at the other end of the weekend.

The fallout from the UBS trader who lost $2.3 billion of the firm's money betting on index futures is grim.
Turns out, he wagered $10 billion on positions on S&P 500, DAX, and EuroStoxx index futures over the last three months, and he allegedly falsely accounted for the hedges off-setting the potetial risk of those trades.
Before Kweku Adoboli's ficitious hedges were discovered, the firm had plans to layoff over 3,500 people in order to save $2 billion. Abodoli's loss more than reverses the savings effect of those layoffs.
Other effects:
The loss also raises serious questions about the future viability of the UBS investment bank. Adoboli wagered $10 billion, according to the WSJ, and his allegedly fudged accounts of his hedges made it past the firm's risk controls for three months.
The bank marshalled its own taskforce, called Project Bronze, to unwind Mr Adoboli's positions and ensure there are no other surprises lurking. By noon on Friday, the full $10 billion portfolio had been wound down.
One young trader's access to that amount of money, and the fact that he took the losing positions in just 3 months surely concerns clients. UBS sent them a note saying, "We fully understand that this incident has caused you concern. We too are very disappointed, and we assure you that UBS is taking the matter extremely seriously."
