Ok, I'll bite. Buying 980 shares of KFS @ $ 10.15 .
Also buying 155 shares CTC.A @ $64.05 .
Both are real-time quotes at 1:40 pm.
Will sell my entire holding of MBISA, including accrued interest, as of today, and deduct 3 x $15 commissions from it. That should leave approx $5k cash.

A trade or lackaguts?
An injection of adrenaline.
I repeated the trades I made in my real-life portfolio.
I now have an offer to buy at $54.
That'll be another injection.
