I closed it out about 15 mins later for a nice couple of hundred bucks profit. Which was nice.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
