FLC was a great trade this morning. Came back to the short term trend line and popped. I mistimed it and was out of the house when it hit the lows. Was hoping for FGI at 12 5/8, but no go. Now looks like it could just move up from 13. I owned UFAB last year. Typical small float, thin volume. When it moves up, it really flies. When it drops, no buyers. Always large spreads. They acquired Allen Tank last year, and my feeling was that it would be a nice fit longer term.

<<I wonder if this is the Shiek that was on the cover of Money Magazine who made $500 Million of buying Citicorp years ago at $5 ?>> Maybe it's the Iron Sheik. <G> CNBC frequently talks about the Citibank/Eurodisney Sheik, so I think they would have said something if it were supposedly him. But if someone is buying OSX calls, why would he focus his attention on FLC, FGI and PDE. FLC is one of the smallest OSX components, FGI isn't in the OSX, and PDE I can't recall. (I own a lot of FGI and FLC, so I'd be all for a squeeze.)
