Update on Georgia Gulf (GGC) and Olin (OLN) Pair Trade

GGC is now down 23% and OLN down less than 1% since I recommended the pair trade of short GGC and long OLN.

GGC has been falling on higher volume days, although the volume pales in comparison to the number of shares the bond funds would probably like to sell.

There has been no news on GGC - presumably just selling pressure from the new holders is moving the price.

I put a big bid out there and once in a while I get a ton of them dumped on me.
