<<<<$30 by Monday could easily happen, Sigmund.<<< Did I say Monday? I thought I said Tuesday?. Could be before then. Let's see. Is the market open Friday?. Would be a low volume day. Anything could happen either way. Over on Yahoo, I think we have an old friend posting and sweating this surge. He is superior to us or so he says. His 10 puts are probably annoying the H out of him.
