Re: Maybe EJF was buying again on Friday

As long as it is "accumulation" I don't care who accumulates except maybe if they plan to raid the company to take it private or otherwise tender for the shares.

Or it could be shorts closing out positions....

Re: WOW!

Dan, the reason 75% of investors can't beat the averages has little to do with them and a lot to do with the systemic nature of markets. Suppose you join a poker game with three others, how likely are:

Re: Closing price 1.25

It is weird that fmd has closed at 1.25 for six days in a row now.

Re: Volatility Versus Leverage

The article was not really about volatility but about the danger of leverage.

Volatility is often the fuse that sets off the leverage bomb. An investor can control leverage but less so volatility.
