Bid is at 14 already on the earnings news from 8:16 this morning. Not very good at timing, but I got it right this time (on AVNT, not EGGS). http:\\dr.seuss.com\~shortlist\winner

I covered ITWO today at 55 5/8 (for a negligible loss of around 1%), put in an order to short AVNT at 15, and went to the gym (not Bally's). I came back, and find ITWO up almost 2 points from where I covered, which makes me feel pretty smart, and that my short of AVNT was executed, which also makes me feel good (assuming that it continues it's overall downward trend). I've shorted AVNT twice before, successfully, and also owned puts, selling them for a profit (though much too early).
