for 1.19 this afternoon. This could commit me to shares after the Q4 report. I'd be picking them up for 50.81, and that's fine with me. It's also fine with me to pocket the premium, a 2.3% 1 month return on cash security, and not have the shares put to me. EBAY closed down to 1.7% to 53.95 on less than avg volume.
