    Possibly in over my head

    Well, isn't that special, it was an approval letter... Currently pre-market around 6.60, inside my profit zone and I bet the IV tanks. I will be looking at fading the gap, as I believe it will end up above 8, but might just stay away. Wait, if I go in today, it might be a "revenge"...
