I don't know. I think it's 50-50. The thing that's so unusual about this particular time is that it seems to be a self-inflicted wound, right?

So it's hard to know.

What is covering? So if I'm short Q's against a portfolio that has exposure to the max seven, I'll buy some back. So I bought some back.
