Last trades of the day show an item at 3.58 pm of 83,900 shares at $24.593 It must be Ian coming back into the market again, just trying to slide in under our radar screen! Best wishes, Jim

When MTSN stock price moves up, it usually does most of it in a limited number of big days. Today was one of those. Have a nice weekend, all.

Ditto. Forgive me for lurking these long months (years, actually).

Thank you, Lord! I trust that this part of your post wasn't directed to me. My head is already swollen enough after today's impressive move. I do have a quandary. MTSN is now more than 15% of my net worth. Yet I see the best days ahead of us re the stock price. If Brad only lands 20% of the evaluation tools as the tool of record, we ain't seen nothing yet. I'm adverse to buying PUTs to protect my portfolio. But I've sold a bunch to others who might want to protect theirs. By the same token, I'd hate to sell covered calls to help take some of my money off the table as I feel there are more explosive moves in front of us this year. Any suggestions would be welcome. I suspect I'm just going to have to get accustomed to MTSN being an increasing %age of my net worth... Ian.
