I had purchased some shares @ IPO so I got those @ par. I had seen evidence that some trading was done on this issue last week in the bond market via the gray market. Saw additional activity there yesterday. Was thinking about looking into that source since I have new calls coming up bringing funds available.

It opened, I saw limited offers
