Working on another solid day. If DOW holds, FINL should close strong.

Hey Klipper22,
What happened to Finl for the stock price to tank from $12 - $2? I couldn't find anything? It looks like it started tanking in april 07.

I have no idea. The majority of the mall retail sector took a beating (especially the latter part of last year). I know that they have been absolutely stuggling financially and the deal with Genesco was not exactly met with open arms by the investing world. To be totally honest, I shop at the Finish Line, but couldn't care less what is going on with them other than how it sets their chart up. lol. I do some dd and keep up a few companies, but trading as much as I do, there just literally isn't enough time to research the way it really needs to be done if I were "investing". I primarily play bottom plays and bounces for the quick scalp and out. FINL provided this just fine. I was out yesterday with 23%. I'll take that all day long if any stock will give it to me. I play to limit losses and maximize quick gains. Take a look at the few I posted in the "member's watchlist" area. They're all making me green with their downside being very minimal. Sorry if I got long-winded. The members that have been around a long time all know how I trade, but I thought I'd take a second to share with people that are newer and don't know me. Best of luck to you in this crazy game we all love so much! Anything that I can do to help, just ask.

Even when Klipper was having to drive to the hospital several times every day... when his wife was having to stay to make sure the baby didn't come early... he took the time to give me a detailed answer to a question.... hell of a good egg he is!

[Klipper22]

Through resistance and the 50dma. Looking strong.
