Hi Entropylord,
I looked at the oppies, but to get any volume I would have had to bid the price up to an unacceptable premium.
Also I have found that some oppies can be suficiently illiquid that it is also difficult to sell without driving the price down.
Perhaps the correct technique is to leave a large order well below the bid so one can pick them up on weakness. However I find that leaving open orders when I cannot watch the market makes me nervous.
