Comments:

This stock tanked on May 24 on bad news. We could not exercise our get-out price because the stock price dropped so fast. Usually in these circumstances, there is a gradual rise in the stock price after such a tank, Therefore, we are holding the stock. We do not anticipate that it will return to the purchase price but may rise over the next month. The price on this expiration weekend is $12.16. Sold all shares at $13.45 to close out position.
