Are there any opportunities anyone can see?

One possible one is AOE.

There are some massive sell orders on AOE that may not be pulled on monday with this news (unless the new ITS system wipes out existing orders???)

Any other opportunities?

Excellent thinking Mark. Have you had any luck picking up bargains on non-settlement days before?

Last year the holiday Monday was 3rd October with low volumes.

October last year was a rocky road.
