17 green slips awarded so far today & still counting. This is a weekday and the beginning of the month too!
I don't feel bad for them, but personally I think they were fully prepared to watch it happen. This summer is very similar to the summer of 2010. Lots of GS and IA calls, lots of negative reserve coverage, and lots of open time.
