Introduction Compact

This thread is for the sole purpose to inform traders of unusual swings in volume and run-ups or large drops in prices of banks.
Many smaller banks tend to not be volatile, and fluctuate in small increments in their share price. Additionally, unlike other companies, they don't have "news" very often. As a result, when there is suddenly 3 or 4 times the usual volume or 3 or 4 times the movement of price range in a day, something is "up", and this thread will be the vehicle
to post this information, so as traders we can examine the short term as a profitable play.
