I owned this early this year at $12 and sold out at $25. I was bummed when it when to $30. Man I am loving this sale. I held last year at $10 to $19 back to $12. I like it a lot more now than then. Buy now because this is a deal. I am back in FINL and loving it. Steve

Stan, When an analysts downgrades a stock and I see no good reasons for it, I SMILE! They want the price down so THEY can BUY more at the LOWER price. IMO You see it time and time again, a downgrade followed by panic selling, followed by a strong rebound. Guess who is BUYING? FINL has every chance that GMGC had, to rebound 30% plus in just a few days. IMO Anyone looking at the fundimentals can plainly see that this is NOT a $14 stock. It should be a $20 stock. IMO The chart is VERY oversold. Buy Low, Sell High. Good Luck and looking forward to Monday! Instock
