From the way back machine, we did a crazy 1×2 in GRPN in December. Paid .70, it’s currently about 1.75. With the stock looking like it’s about to break 10 we’re going to stay put and see how it plays out. If the stock looks like it will hold this level we’ll have some room to take this trade off for a nice little profit. If it breaks down we’ll try to milk it for even more. Original trade below:
