Yeah, I'm not sure where the board thinks this is really going unless they merge with an etf. It still ought to work out, but seems to be unnecessarily drawn...
Last report had it around 83%, but keep in mind that is from last Wednesday so likely over 90% maybe 95% today as it seems they have been taking 10+% a week...
