Magic:

In your July 3 post, you noted that DLX dropped from the screen. On 7/3 DLX closed at $18.60.

Today DLX is in again at $19.57. What do you make of this?

DLX's market cap is right around the screen cutoff at $1 billion.  At $18.60 it would have been below $1 billion, at $19.57 right at $1 billion.

Below $1 billion it probably wasn't cheap enough at $18.60.
