RAIT Financial Trust (RAS) has doubled in the past few days and a 3 bagger since July ($1.25 to $3.10). I still own a few shares and am still underwater. However, if it doubles again I should be able to get back my scratch money. SVU is more interesting as in the last few days it has exceeded 50% of its trading volume. The stock should continue to move higher. web.streetauthority.com "...Astute swing traders should pay particularly strong attention to volume on breakouts, climactic bottoms, and spikes after sustained uptrends. Volume divergence, when price is rising but volume is trending down, is a strong warning that price itself will likely soon fall. Joseph Granville, creator of the On Balance Volume indicator, shares this same insistence on the importance of volume analysis. He exclaims that volume precedes price, and he even goes so far as to argue that volume is cause and price is effect....". ============================================================= For this stage in the market run, OBV (On-Balance Volume) s/b a good indicator to track. If OBV continues to rise, stay with the trade. If it flattens out or starts to fall, you better exit the trade or be comfortable with a 10%-15% correction. EKS

AIB seems to be turning into a winner. Up 5x since Jan. when you mentioned you were going to stick with it, and a 9-10 bagger roughly for anyone who bought or added when you mentioned it near March lows. Results appear to me to be as good or better than stocks like C or AIG that seem to be getting the headlines and attention: finance.yahoo.com These three though too tough for me then and now for serious money. Too difficult for me to figure and to hold on if there's a downdraft. Maybe for small speculation.
