Yes, thank you for your help! The last time there was a R/S I actually toke profit in as there was an increase of Share Price just after the R/S. Some times there is not that many shares traded and one has to make be sure that csip Number is in place upon or before the R/S takes place. One has to contact his broker and I don't advise it but it can be done. However if it occurs like you suggest the chances to profit should double. Am I reading you right RA-JOE http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/02/us-elbitsystems-arizona-contract-idUSBREA2104K20140302 JACKRABBIT
