| I like how he called it the day before too. I looked into it, read up on them, but didn't want to hold anything over the weekend.
Does citigroup still have potential?

IIRC I've even met Mana in person before : )
I'd be keeping my eyes out for Energy / Gold again, they'll likely be dropping before further neg news are out...and rising again soon.

C was good at $21, but at $24.5 I won't touch it under current econ conditions.
I just hope no more bad debts surface

On the other hand, I won't touch CC, unless it can some how do MUCH BETTER than Best Buy in the 4th quarter, and even BB had a slowed down quarter.

I have no idea anymore. I'd like to get in with more shares, so i'm hoping it will re adjust itself tomorrow. Just remember that earnings come out on April 28th

Hard to say about Visa... depending on how bad you want it.
I got in at 58 and im quite happy... especially since it closed at 68.09 today

Friend got in WM put and made a quick 40% the other way... I closed the position yesterday and was happy with my gains. Reminds me to look at options direction... but keep in mind its taxed as interest income.
Energy is the next thing in this bear market... various ENER SPWR ESLR were up today around 3-5%, decent gain for 1 day.
AMD's in trouble (with it ATI chips) there goes a major competitor in the vidcard industry. Going with that logic I picked up some Nvidia as I think gaming industry is only growing. Might not be a daytrade deal like WaMu though  DD!

CC was up this morning. bought it yesterday at 4.40, sold this morning at 4.75. decent return for 1 day. but i agree with u guys, not something you want to get into yet until economy rebounds.

that wouldve translated into a 20% gain insteal of 10%
