Your a braver man than I to go long in this thin wispy stuff, my friday p.m rule forbids me for starters.
it's probably a rationalisation, i'm thinking it's opex and there is far too much on the line for a big move to happen when the "op" part isn't even open for trading. so limited upside - which is how i trade anyway - but also limited downside. net net, a plus for me. but like i said, that may well be a rationalisation on my part.
a drink at the bar is always the right answer. have a good weekend, kap. (the answer is no, i pay no attention to volume)
