I got in this morning @ 2.25 on just a hunch that the long arm of the government might step in and now it looks very possible.

SCA has a 52 week high of around 30.00 and a low of 1.50

I have watched MBI, SCA, ABK for about 2 weeks and today was the day. I only jumped in SCA because of the low pps. I may throw a little in MBI tomorrow.

If the feds come through with help the some of the financial stocks will be the golden ticket.

[Aufan 1983]

Looking for a green day here today. Premarket has ran to over 4.00 so hopefully it will hold strong

[BadThad]

Just grabbed up some MBI, it's the one I like the most. I'm up $22 in about 10 seconds! LOL

[BadThad]

Wow, super volatile! Dropped $3 in about 2 minutes. LOL It's going to be a bumpy ride today!

[Aufan 1983]

SCA is falling too. Just by pure luck I sold SCA @ 4.10 to buy MBKR which is up big on FDA drug approval.
