Comentário:
Near opex check. This little puppy has moved up 10 handles since I put it on at the beginning of September and is currently underwater (5.01 at the mid price versus 3.45 fill price). Because neither side is approaching worthless or being tested, going to leave it alone, which I'm apparently doing with a lot of the longer-dated stuff.
