couple things to keep in mind. It may appear that I was unlucky but I short stocks every trading day of the year that are making new highs and this is the first buyout in the last two years so I think it goes with the style : o )
Second thing (and the one I am most happy about) is that the shares I had short during the halt where closed out in premarket trading at a slight gain. So I think its pretty "lucky" to be short a stock that gets halted for a buyout and still be able to close out for a gain before the market opens the next day. Whats your thoughts?? wanna fly to vegas in November for the show??
small trading day as I kept my size / risk very small (blotter is a little different due to covering IAG in AH trading)
