Reasoning: [private_monthly]CRM[/private_monthly] is a very high beta stock, and with the company set to report earnings this afternoon, we're betting that the stock will finish up or down by at least $5 per share from it's current price by next Friday. If we don't get a big move in the stock tomorrow morning, we'll close the trade for a small loss. We're using a day, limit order. Note: better to not get filled on this one than chase it.
