I couldn't watch ARR today so this morning I put in a sell limit at 7.50. Close doesn't count!

Don't feel too bad. I did the same as did almost everyone who trades the ex-date. I just want one round turn per quarter and the quarter is far from over. If you look back over the last three or so years, there is one out of 4 or 5 quarters that don't work out but that's good enough for me.

Elroy, I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I'm still trying to figure out (and I truly mean learn if I can) how trying to time these SPOs, for what seems to me to be very little %age, is worthwhile? Even after this SPO, looks like ARR will be in the $7.20s, and a week ago, it was right around $7. So you're still up without taking the risk that they don't do one. Again, it may be my own ignorance, but I'm struggling with seeing how this is a "good risk" (especially for folks like me who are not trading in a tax-exempt account, so need to take that aspect into account as well). If you feel that you've explained yourself and I'm just too thick to get it, that's ok too. Thanks
