CIT -
there is a preferred i am watching. CIT-PA (yields 6.35% on 25$0 trading at 9.35$, yielding 16.8% currently.

If CIT recapitalizes (by issuing new shares) the shareholders are diluted but the preferred should rise.

There is also a mandatory convertible preferred trading with a higher coupon. this one was issued recently when CIT's troubles began.

CIT. Volatile stock.

Not sure what I'll do here. If I catch it (the common) at $6 level with no further adverse news, I may add to my small position.

I'm not worried about being diluted in a possible stock offering by CIT to raise capital. Stock already is so far under stated book value I figure a little reduction in stated b.v./sh. from a stock offering is not going to make things any worse.
