So, I will leave risk management to you guys.

imho bad job report is the signal to go in fast. Good job report is where I ask u use your own discretion, stops, and risk management strategy. There is no option in this one and that is a minus. If you feel this is not explosive enough, FED is still around.

==========
I tried to find more FED and DSL-type of supernova.


It is kinda scary with possibly more suckers coming in (remember FED going to $12 for like, 5 minutes?) and upset the best laid plans.


The key is catching the animal while NPA is small, but with what I know of the situation and numbers, make a forecast about whether such can go parabolic in losses.


I was speculating about PCBC, but the price seems to reflect an already parabolic loan loss reserve or somewhat close to it. I have some puts there and was checking the price, when I mistyped "CBC" instead of PCBC and I think this could be SHORT at FIRST SIGHT.


Location must be bubble state heavy, delinquency/NPA ratio should not cross 5% yet (undetected by masses), and asset GROWTH had to be pretty good clip (10%) in 2007 to maximize FUTURE damage to equity and earnings. Furthermore, a "dilution strategy", taking more asset to deflate %delinquent to appear low, is a bonus if you can get one.


As you can see, the typo could really be similar to a guy digging for coal in the backyard and struck uranium deposit instead.

Interesting find. The sucker dropped from 45 to 7. What do you mean by it has not been discovered?

MTGSPY said...

maybe not discovered by me yet. heheheh. But this one is juicy at $13-15 with a target of $0.

FMBI

I had a horrible experience trying to cash a check from FMBI last September and I told the VP they were on my list for takeover...thought I was nuts. Absolutely piss-poor run bank.

PVTB

Driving hard into commercial real estate lending in chicago. Hired away a bunch of the Lasalle team after the BAC buyout. Pretty much all of the meat left on the bone here.

Gosh !! So many banks to short. So little money left. I need to cover things and rethink my strategy....feeling like a little boy in candy shop :)

P. S. Had the same feeling in Feb 2007, when I first heard of IMB and DSL.

see, i am doubting myself about other opportunity cuz FED is nearly $9, why would anyone short anything else?. Is this craaaazzy or what or is the past 18 months just a mirage and none of these option arms delinquency, default, etc. really didnt happen and I was just imagining it?

dvs112 said...

FED at 9.00, WB at 19.20 .. ZION at 30.50

I don't think I will hunt around for CBC shares. These pigs are sufficient to keep me loaded when the time is right.

Opened a small position in FED and WB. Will keep adding at $1.50 intervals if these stocks continue to run up

FED SEPT $2.50 going for less than a quarter.. anyone speculating??
