I also have been bullish on cs, but we all need to keep an objective viewpoint and remember that it aint soup until its soup. Cs could have run on SPECULATION and if a buyout doesnt happen Monday its down we go, and if no buyout in 2-3 weeks, we will see 11-12 again. There are those who argue with some merit that this stock may not be bought or survive. I think it will be acquired(soon yes, but maybe we are wrong and it isnt until the end of the year). CS is my second largest holding, but I urge all to view this objectively and dont let a buying panic push someone into a position they cant maintain or dont want to get hung up in. Good Luck to us all. P.S. I shouldnt have done it but I couldnt resist following the pack into ag for 1k hope there is a buyout here or we will lose a point or more at least.
