Comments:

Lucky on this one. Stock tanked on December 1 on false rumor. Could not exercise get-price. Applying our rule to hold a tanked stock for a few days to allow some rebound, the stock price returned to its pre-tank price on December 3 and continued to rise when rumor was found false. Called.

This stock also tanked on the same day as NOVN and did not recover. Held stock for seven trading days in hopes of some rebound, then sold at $8.20 after busing back calls at 0.02.
