David,
Ouch is right. I don't know where you are in at but with interest dropping the utilities will more than likely go up. With today's large range expansion you may have a chance to get in another position to go short higher
up. What usually happens is that when the price moves up to fast as compared to the current ATR over the previous few days will either cause one of two things to happen:  Either the price will pullback on profit taking or
it may trade sideways then move higher again. Generally the first one happens. I know nothing of FE in terms of fundamentals do I am of no help there. But your right it doesn't look pretty.

I hope you can find some way to resolve this position,
Harley
